The Liszt Sonata App Reviews

A joy to see and hear. … and a very good app for those who are starting to enjoy reading music.

Well worth the price, and then some.... A beautiful piece, performed beautifully, and accompanied with a wealth of analysis that makes me want to frequently replay the performance and commentary. I have all the classical apps from this publisher and this one is my favorite. Well done Touchpress!

Not what I wanted.😕. I thought it was going to teach you how to play the song all you do is listen to the song for $10.00 when you could do it for free on YouTube.

Fantastic App, need fix some bugs though. I am always a Touchpress fan, and I never regret about buying any of your apps, this app is fantastic as usual. However, on my iPad 3, ios7, when I start the performance, the time displayed is always 0:00, and I can't move the script to skip. Hope you can fix this bug soon!

Overpriced. Slickly done but not worth the price. Not for only 30 minutes of music

The Liszt Sonata in B Minor. Stephen Hough's performance was superb. It was such an enriching experience to learn the background of the piece. I enjoyed the little embedded excerpts in the explanation portion of the app. Loved being able to follow the performance as the notes scrolled below. I just wished I could have somehow transferred the performance portion to my other devices so I could listen to the piece independent of the video. If that became available it could justify the price of the app. As it is if I want the music on my iPod I need to make another music only purchase and that is only if that recording is available for purchase. But I would love other pieces presented in like manner. I am planning to investigate The Orchestra also made by Touch Press. I know I won't be disappointed. Excellent app.

Liszt Sonata. An amazing, in depth look at the Liszt piano sonata in b minor, fantastically performed and analyzed by the phenomenal Stephen Hough. I hope that there will be more of these to come! Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin... the list goes on. I can’t say enough great things about Mr. Hough. This man is a genius. Thank you so much for this!

Fantastic. I love this app! Everything about it is great. I wish they would make more!

Great App！. This is a great app I had dream for a long time! The staff note sync perfect to the video, and so as the piano roll. I think inside the app there's both video and midi tracks. Actually I have an automatic player piano which the keys can be driven by Midi signals, I just wander if this app can send midi out via a camera kit and a USB Midi-interface. Great job, well done!

Not convinced. This performance strikes me as having too much focus on beats in a bar rather than overall movement and general direction. The scrolling of the score is not smooth and becomes a distraction. the overall concept is interesting.

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…

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).

Lehmanesque. Just as all the reviews have said,the APP is wonderful. I have always had difficulty entering into the world of Liszt sonata and if this application doesn't do it for me I am a lost soul.Like all the other "Touch press" apps highly recomended.

Rather disappointed.... Rather annoyed that this piano sonata was cobbled and stitched together. No offence to Stephen Hough, but having cuts and edits in the video footage was rather cheap. For a respected pianist such as yourself, that's just shoddy.

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.

Worth Every Penny. Highly recommend this app. I'm a classical music lover but not a trained musician and I wish I could experience every masterpiece in this way. I also enjoyed The Orchestra and Beethoven's Ninth but Liszt Sonata is now my favourite of the classical music apps from Touch Press. If the price puts you off, just consider what you'd normally pay for a CD recording.

Decent overall. As a pianist, this app is a valuable tool and has helped me in learning this piece. However, I was disappointed at the lack of speed throughout the piece—Martha Argerich, in comparison, plays it in just over 25 minutes instead of the 31 minutes this app takes—and the views of the performer's face throughout the piece. While I recognize that it's important for a piece to have character, to project emotions, I believe it's a waste of space to include half an hour of an old man making various facial expressions.
