Piano Works: Etudes d'Execution, Bravourstudien, and Other Works - Piano

In the continuing Supplement to EMB's Series I and Series II of the New Liszt Edition, Volume 12 presents earlier and/or alternate versions of works previously covered in the preceding Series. Perhaps no other event had the profound effect upon the young Liszt as his exposureto the artistry of Paganini, a master who brought his own instrument to new heights and new demands. Soon after, Liszt composed his own set of Bravourstudien, studies intended for superhuman pianists, later know as the Grandes Etudes de Paganini. This Supplement volume presents an excellent overview, multiple manuscript copies, and critical editions of earlier published versions (in the clothbound version). For advanced pianists.
