Franz Liszt: Etude in 12 Exercises
This youthful set of studies is the origin of the later and much more famous Transcendental Etudes, published 25 years later.
Written when Liszt was only 15, they are quite a bit easier to tackle than the later versions, and an interesting sample of Liszt style before he had accomplished his great revolution of piano technique.
I would like to pick a couple of those and would appreciate any comments on these pieces by members that played them. Thanks.

I have a question about Liszt's Etudes. Now I know some of them are completely off the wall... but to any of you that have played/taught them, how helpful are they? I was thinking of trying his first Trascandental Etude (in C). It's only two pages... the last page being arpeggios. I just wanted to gather an opinion. Thanks.
Which one of them made the most difficult etudes? Earlier when i hadn't heard so much by Choipn I assumed it was Liszt. Now I'm not so sure... Take care /lisztener
