Franz Liszt Transcendental Etude No 4

[saerdna25]

please relax your elbows... your arms are too stiff!

[BareKnuckledPianist]

@saerdna25 lol i promise you I'm not tense, though my arms may seem to be. If you are referring to the circular motion of the elbows that most typical pianists make, I decided not to take that approach (Too much inefficient motion) Thanks anyways :)

Ooooh mazeppa! Anything from Liszt is difficult.

[BareKnuckledPianist]

@tjtheplay The majority of his pieces are pretty tough.

[ZaRLeY093]

i envy your talent. T_T

[BareKnuckledPianist]

@ZaRLeY093 lol thank you. However, you shouldn't. Talent is basically just efficiency!

[BareKnuckledPianist]

@ElleMarie723 The piece is called Transcendental Etude No.4 "Mazeppa" by Liszt :)

@Cherylpiano26 It took me a couple months, but once I got it down, it FINALLY stayed in my fingers. I barely practice it now, and can perform it anytime :)

[paulblammers]
