I didn't know that Liszt had his own octave etude

HOLY ****** ****

Orage out of the Anees de Pilgramage........

it's nuts, all left hand octaves, or joint. It sounds impossible.

Would that be a dumb idea for me to use this instead of the octave etude? It's so bad@ss.

It's fairly straight-forward as far as I can see. Just avoid the muddle of over-pedalling. A great piece!

It's been called the fiercest octave etude ever written. Personally I don't like it, I think it's one of Liszt's way overblown bombastic pieces - although it suits it's programmatic content. That said it is fun to play through if you wanna test out your octaves.

Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

Orage is ok.... sort of juvenile of Liszt, but still, when Im in that bashing the piano type of mood, its certainly a great piece to listen to.

Personally, I prefer Liszt's "Lyon", as far as the bombastic, strepitoso works go.
