Etudes d'exécution transcendante

Album by Franz Liszt & Christopher Taylor

Études d'exécution transcendante is a set of twelve piano études by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, published in 1852. The cycle epitomises Romantic virtuosity, combining formidable technical demands—rapid figurations, wide leaps and dense textures—with expansive melodic and harmonic writing, and represents a late maturation of Liszt's piano idiom that influenced subsequent virtuoso repertoire.
