Liszt Introductory Pieces
on: May 10, 2008, 12:39:56 AM
Hi, I was wondering if there are any fun Liszt pieces that are around ABRSM Grade 8. I really like Liszt and I'm hoping I can play some Hungarian Rhapsodies and etudes in a few years so I would like something that could prepare for those kind of pieces? ;D Annnd... yeah, preferably not 11 minute long pieces lol. Thank yooouuu.

I would take a look at the Soirees De Vienne, the 6th of which Horowitz used to play.

Nice pieces and not too demanding. Easy on the ear and the fingers.
