Description
Stephen Hough performs one of the most complex pieces of piano music ever written, and helps you uncover its subtle elegance with a multi-perspective performance and the innovative NoteFall visualisation.

• The NoteFall: A hypnotic graphical visualisation of the music highlights the intricacy and complexity of the piece and the subtleties of its interpretation.

Fabulous performance beautifully presented
This is great fun. It's wonderful to watch the details of a virtuoso performance of a spectacular Liszt sonata by Stephen Hough. Still more interesting to have his articulate, revealing commentary on the piece and on technique. Beautifully done. The B Min Sonata is a brilliant choice: just the right length for the presentation but also a deeply affecting and varied piece of virtuosic piano. Hough and Liszt is a combination that rewards over and over (I've watched this movie, or parts of it, a dozen times yet it still has surprises and lessons for me).
Outstanding
An engaging way to discover and rediscover one of humanity's most brilliant musical creations.
Besides the elegant app interface and extensive and interesting background material, this is a brilliant performance of the sonata — almost as fun to watch as it is exciting to listen to.
The spoken commentary is useful, although a little loud (it would be nice to be able to adjust the relative volume). Luckily it also works well displayed as captions.
The synchronisation of the audio to the musical notation is near perfect, which makes it a pleasure to 'read' along while listening.
The audio plays well through AirPlay (sounds great on B&W speakers).
All up this is a great way to experience great musical artworks — a much deeper experience than just listening to a CD. It would be lovely to see the catalogue of works expanded over time.
Awesomely irresponsible of Touch Press
Dear Touch Press
What are you thinking?! After seducing me with 'The Orchestra' and 'Beethoven's 9th Symphony', you've produced this new temptation. Don't you know I have a mortgage to pay and a family to spend time with. It's downright wrong of you to peddle these sorts of addictive substances to the innocent and the naive. Who knows, next you'll be producing Chopin's Etudes or Mozart's Requiem…
…please…
