- No. 11 in D-flat major, from Etudes en douze exercices S. 136, by Franz Liszt. (year set composed 1826)
Franz Liszt (October 22, 1811 - July 31, 1886) was a 19th-century Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist, conductor, teacher and Franciscan tertiary.
Liszt gained renown in Europe during the early nineteenth century for his virtuosic skill as a pianist. He was said by his contemporaries to have been the most technically advanced pianist of his age, and in the 1840s he was considered to be the greatest pianist of all time. Liszt was also a well-known and influential composer, piano teacher and conductor. He was a benefactor to other composers, including Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz, Camille Saint-Saëns, Edvard Grieg and Alexander Borodin.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind an extensive and diverse body of work in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some 20th-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony. He also played an important role in popularizing a wide array of music by transcribing it for piano.
The composition of the Transcendental Études S. 139 began in 1826, when 15-year-old Liszt wrote a set of youthful and far less technically demanding exercises called the Étude en douze exercices (Study in twelve exercises) S. 136. Liszt then elaborated on these pieces considerably, and the far more technically difficult exercises called the Douze Grandes Études (Twelve Grand Studies) S. 137 were then published in 1837.
The Transcendental Études S. 139 are revisions of his Douze Grandes Études. This third and final version was published in 1852 and dedicated to Carl Czerny, Liszt's piano teacher, and himself a prolific composer of études. The set included simplifications, for the most part: in addition to many other reductions, Liszt removed all stretches of greater than a tenth, making the piece more suitable for pianists with smaller hands and less technical skill.

Holy shit, I didn’t know Hamelin played this!! Hearing his comments and hearing him say the 1838 version is “impossible to play” just made my day hahaha
Wow, this piece is absolutely charming!
I am really curious, why this etude did not become Transcendental, I can imagine bit how he good revise it to higher and more demanding etude, ahhh such a potential!
+Michal Pietor By what way do you mean? I might have an idea, considering that the Transcendental Etude No. 11 used the theme from Etude S. 136 No. 7, and not this one.
+thenameisgsarci I kinda did not get your point, this S. 136 no. 11 theme was not used in further revision which turned these etudes into the Transcendental. I know all transcendental well (I play them quite oftenly), and I am pretty sure, none has this thema. (Is this the point you wanted to point out? If so, then I just did not understood, sorry)
+Michal Pietor Sorry about that, I'm not that good in the explanation department, but, yes, you're actually right. :)
I may try to make a transcendental version of this! I've been thinking of it but I'm very nervous to what people will think of it.
It's fine, go ahead, I'm looking forward to it. 😁
@f1f1s It's for those who want to go straight listening to the performance. But yeah, I kinda agree with you.
If this set was published in 1826, then... this means that actually Schumann *could* have borowed from this étude in order to compose his Sonata 2. Those left-hand passages with alternating bass and melodic line are pretty inflexible, so Schumann really pushed the envelope.
And yes, who in his sane mind would want to skip Hamelin’s commentary?
I was waiting for it to start, an then I heard something like speaking, so I ramped up the volume and instantly realized this was Hamelin's all Liszt concert from 1996. It is a shame it is not on youtube anymore. I should really ask if I can upload the copy I have.
Joseph F You have the copy? It's great! Could you somehow send me this? I'd be VERY thankful
@@josephf151 Would you be able to send me the copy somehow??
good etude
Finally! A real person who was playing!
@Mathews I've search Claudio Colombo, but I can't see his face or playing the etudes. Maybe you know the link? Also he sounded like robot in my opinion not gonna lie....
@Mathews yeah that's why I can a bit conclude that he is not a human, rather just a studio recreation of etudes. The playings are so mechanical. I doubt he is a real person....
@@HowardTse I don’t know if I’m reaching you too late, but there’s a video of Wolfram’s performances with sheets on TH-cam
The melody really reminds me of mozart
Is it just me, or does this sound kind of like Mozart?
If anything it sounds like Chopin
To me sounds like Schumann or Mendelshon
