it's nice to know that people still find classical music to be orgasmic.

[afertyus1000]

these etudes are virtually impossible on an upright due to the repetition action on a grand when the key is half-depressed not rebounding fast enough i've tried

@MrMuse18 Its apparently only about 3 hours day, making him even more of a genius. He actually doesn't like playing the piano, prefers to drink and gamble! There is a documentary on youtube where you can find all of this out.

@bartzdim it was outdoor summer i think. I will sweat like hell if i played one of these piece. He played 12 consecutive pieces of this level. imagine that.

It's a shame I tried :like"ing this 5x's to emphasize my liking, but alas, youtube has not implemented a rating system of any sort.

@About14Pandas Actually, and I know it's hard to imagine, the Douze Grandes Etudes are harder than the Transcendental Etudes. For the latter Liszt removed any stretches greater than a tenth. The exception is no.4 Mazeppa which is harder in this set. He also did some other edits and I find the Transcendentals to be more cohesive and musical than their earlier counterparts. I still have trouble stretching a 10th with my short pinkies though. This is my favorite but Kissin plays it better IMO.
