@stilldirrtylover In his all Liszt recital he said they were unplayable.

Really appreciate the upload, if asked to pick which version I like best I think I'd say "they are both so wonderful I can't decide!"

@nazhiitoxx How do you define the playing of a student compared to the playing of a professional? Furthermore, how do you judge the boredom and the amount of emotion in an interpretation? And how can the Grande Etudes be compared with the Transcendental Etudes? Of some Grande Etudes (like this one) the structure is much different. Could the difference of structure cause the difference in experience?
Personally, I love Howard's recordings, but that is just my opinion.

I've always wondered why virtuosos like Hamelin never recorded or performed any of these Grand etudes. Some of them are even better than the Transcendental etudes in my opinion. Any thoughts?
I hope everyone can understand and appreciate how RARE this version is. Liszt actually made these a little easier to play later so at least one other person in the world could be able to play them haha. The differences between the two are just outstanding.

You want to know whats even more amazing, we have no idea how liszt improvised on these etudes. You can only put so many notes on paper. They probably sounded even more intense when he performed them.
