Grandes Études de Paganini - Nos. 1-6 - Franz Liszt
Liszt would not have become the artist we know, had it not been for Paganini. In turn, Liszt─s absence would have made the history of music and musical performance very different. As such, it is safe to say that the 1832 concert where Liszt first heard the ''Devil─s Violinist'' play was of historic importance. Following this experience, Liszt emerged renewed from his career crisis of several years and soon found his own voice as a composer. At the same time, he progressed to become the most influential piano virtuoso of all time. Liszt's Grandes études de Paganini, based on Paganini─s capriccios, is one of the fruits of this exceptional encounter. Its significance is attested by François-Joseph Fétis, the prominent critic who commented on the first version, ''There! the creation of the Piano - one did not know until now what it was.''This revised (2018) version is based on the New Liszt Edition, complete with a new preface, critical notes, and a facsimile reproduction. This publication is printed on high quality, durable paper made from renewable raw materials in an environmentally friendly way.
