Liebesleid (Love's Sorrow) – Kreisler (arr. Rachmaninoff)

Rachmaninoff's transcription of Kreisler's Liebesleid. In English, "Love's Sorrow" (and often incorrectly written as 'Liebeslied', "Love song" which gives it a completely different meaning), this has been one of the most requested pieces since the beginning of the channel, and is one of Rachmaninoff's most charming piano transcriptions. A perfect example of Rachmaninoff's beautifully dizzy contrapuntal writing, the interplay between the voices here is so melancholic, it's almost as if these melodies are the two voices that are currently going through 'love's sorrow' (listen to the sad conversation between the two melodies in the RH at 1:19). This one is a very misleadingly difficult piece to play, a big thank you to M.I. for this enchanting performance. Enjoy the next few days and SEE YOU ON THURSDAY ♥

❤.

Is the Pianist "M.I."? Is that the same as "Rousseau"??? At 2:43 you discern that this is a colossal preformance….the best, really….BRAVO, whoever you are….from Acapulco Mexico!

This part sounds so soothing like…how the heart feels once it sees someone important❤ 1:30

Anyone in late 2025?

People who watched your lie in april ❤❤

Ironically, love’s sorrow sounds more happy than love’s joy, in my perspective at least. Listening to this makes me think of all the moments of joy and peace I shared with my friends or even with just myself. Maybe the sorrow is the fact that it’s fleeting, but I’m sure one would still feel happy thinking back to those memories. I love “Your lie in April” for introducing me to this piece. Maybe I’ll become a pianist too, Arima.

Sometimes no kress and moll in the note
