wow didn't know there was an orchestral version, awesome!

@OrangeSodaKing We will probably never know what his intentions were with the piece initially. He might have had sketches of either before the other was published. Let us listen and play the music - and enjoy it, of course!

@rafaman96 Well, the 1837 (or 1838) version of the 12 etudes existed before the Symphony poems did, and many of these themes are found in the early version of the etude. So, the piano version did (sort of) come first.

I love this version! It makes the ride So much more sinister. There's definately more of a sense of dread.

@CarlMariaWeber Actually, the Tran. Étude nº4 came from this Symphony. Liszt composed the orchestra version, then he made all the 12 Études, and transcripted it to the piano.
Correct me if I'm wrong of course!
