5.0 out of 5 stars A great piano book!, November 30, 1999

This review is from: Complete Etudes for Solo Piano, Series I: Including the Transcendental Etudes (Dover Music for Piano) (Paperback)

This is a great book for any virtuoso pianist. Including the first and second versions of the transcendental etudes (Etudes en Douze Excercises, and Douze Grandes Etudes), which you will not find in any other book, it includes 36 songs on over 250 pages. It is an excellent deal, and along with its partner, the second volume, they are a valuable addition to your repertoire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Liszt Etudes, June 22, 2007

This review is from: Complete Etudes for Solo Piano, Series I: Including the Transcendental Etudes (Dover Music for Piano) (Paperback)

Good binding, clear printing, and of course, it's complete...

...but who can actually PLAY it ): ?

A lot of his earlier works are very approachable, but the Transcendental Etudes aren't recognised as the most difficult piano pieces ever written for no reason!

This review is from: Complete Etudes for Solo Piano, Series I: Including the Transcendental Etudes (Dover Music for Piano) (Paperback)

This book of Liszt etudes is magnificent and challenging. But, find a good one with good binding because when i first got mine, the book binding tore up on me the first day. All the pages came out in sections (and I mean pages everywere too!). Uh.. yeah, I was pissed!
