Liszt's Technical Exercises

Post by uutbsat »

Is there a way to take a look, to the 12 books of technical exercises for piano, that Liszt composed?

If you mean Franz Liszt's 12 Transcendental Studies they're all available here, you just have to check the E section in Franz Liszt folder or try this link if you don't understand french: http://imslp.org/wiki/%C3%89tudes_d%27e ... ,_Franz%29. Enjoy!

Yeah, the stuff I'm referring to is similar to http://imslp.org/wiki/Technische_Studie ... ,_Franz%29. The work I'm talking about was not published during Liszt's lifetime.

Here it is what I'm talking about http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Tec ... te/3502970. The problem is that the editor of these technical exercises: scales, arpeggios, chords, etc., has shortened the original version, so that it can be published with less pages. For many exercises only the exercise in the first tonalities are given, telling that it should be repeated in all tonalities, but without writing the actual thing, like it is in the original version of this thing. Many exercises are rather complex, nearly impossible to study without the written version in all keys. Due to commercial considerations an editor can modify a work how it was originally intended to be.

I believe, in fact, that those exercises all fall into S146. If you notice the page has number 62 -- which is the very same one that was recorded on the Complete Liszt Piano edition (apparently it was the only one musical enough to 'count'. Kinda odd considering how thorough it is otherwise). I dunno what that means, per se, about that specific upload...
