Liszt's perfect etude

[BoliverAllmon]

has anyone heard this piece? I just listened to the midi. It is pretty cool. Pretty dark sounding. definately not easy. they say the name is ab_irato or something like that.

yup. sounds like a pretty fun piece to play too. not that long either around 2:30 min.

btw anyone know where to get the sheet music for this?

[BoliverAllmon]

only thing I know is download the midi and convert to sheet music. Other than that either buy it or sweetalk someone hear into giving it.

If you're interested, here is the "earlier" version of the Ab Irato etude, named "Morceau de Salon - Etude de perfectionement"

There were 2 previous versions of the Transcendental Etudes and 1 of the Pag Etudes.

Well worth a look. I think the 1838 version of the Transcendental Etudes (they were not called Transcendental then) are better but more difficult.

[BoliverAllmon]

there is a rumor that Hamelin will record those earlier sets. I would really like to get my hands on them if this is true.

Here is a cheap recording of Leslie Howard playing the secoind version.
