Features: Franz Liszt, a Hungarian composer and pianist, showed extraordinary musical talent from a young age. At the age of eleven, he was sent by his father to Vienna to study music. Six months later, he made his debut at the Vienna Parliament Concert Hall at the end of 1822, causing a sensation in the Vienna music world. At twelve, Liszt went to Paris for his first performance, which marked the beginning of his professional performing career. He then toured France, the United Kingdom, and various parts of Europe, receiving praise from the European music world and royal nobility at the time, quickly establishing himself as a renowned pianist. He was celebrated for his magnificent and extraordinary techniques, reaching the height of fame. Liszt's piano etudes are of advanced level and have never been published domestically (the People's Music Publishing House's Selected Piano Works of Liszt included only a few). However, on one hand, there are thousands of people who have passed the national Level 10 exam, and on the other hand, there is a strong need in professional teaching (especially for contestants preparing for competitions). Now, Professor Yao Shizhen of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music has revised and edited a version based on three excellent editions (Moscow Music Publishing House, American Dover Publishing House, and German Peters Publishing House), publishing it as two varieties. This book includes Liszt's Paganini Etudes, three concert etudes, and two concert etudes. The editor has provided annotations based on multiple international editions.
