12 Etudes Dexecution Transcendante
He was a Czerny pupil, he travelled in elegant coaches across Europe and, as the greatest piano virtuoso of his time, he impressed not only the ruling houses in Russia but the Pope, the high nobility and the middle class concert public. He developed exercises which for others were unplayable and which demanded that the quickest runs, the most absurd arpeggios and the wildest jumps contained a musical meaning. With him the piano became an orchestra. Not withstanding all the mechanical artistry that per se is part of the virtuoso in Liszt´s piano works can be found a noticeable humanity which both moves and is moving: “For me my piano is what a frigate is for the seaman or a horse to the Arab – more though – my language, my life”.
