Etude in Twelve Exercises was a set of études written by Liszt when he was still a teenager. These developed into the Grandes Etudes. These are each focused on certain technical difficulties. Franz Liszt (October 22, 1811 – July 31, 1886) was a virtuoso pianist and composer. ...
Etude I - Preludio Presto, in do maggiore, in C major An authoritative beginning which is striking and short, suited to affirm that this series of studies have the characteristic of being a 'concerto'.
Etude IV - Mazeppa Allegro, in re minore, in D minor Liszt gave definitive form to this study in 1851 and with it we enter the heart of the cycle.
Etude XI - Harmonies du Soir - Armonie della Sera - Evening Harmonies Andantino, in re bemolle maggiore, in D flat major This is one of the most poetic of the series and has an 'andamento' which induces self-abandonment.
The Transcendental Etudes (sometimes Études d'exécution transcendante or Transcendental Studies) is a series of twelve compositions written for solo piano by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, begun in 1826 and finalized in 1851.
The etudes, particularly in their second-version form, are among the most difficult pieces for piano ever written in the nineteenth century.
Liszt realized that his virtuoso piano technique, which influenced the composition of the etudes, was virtually unsurpassable; consequently the etudes in their final form are less difficult, but still pose incredible physical and technical demands for the performer.
