About Franz Liszt's Transcendental Etudes after Paganini
This is an early version of the much better known Paganini Etudes from 1851. As in the case with the Transcendental Etudes, these earlier versions are the most outrageously difficult.
In the later studies, Liszt thinned the textures and removed all stretches greater than a tenth.
