Liszt’s « Transcendental Studies » of 1852 are without doubt among the triumphs of virtuoso piano music, and their visionary language and poetic expression make them a milestone of the romantic age. This set of twelve etudes represents the results of the composer’s own revision of a collection already published in 1827 and 1839. Accordingly, the principal source for this edition was a printed copy of the earlier version with myriad changes in the composer’s hand. Each of these pieces, including the famous « Harmonies du soir » and « Mazeppa », bears its own title and has entered the concert repertoire less as an etude than as a tone-poem with its own distinctive flavour.
