So- Very virtuosic, gorgeous harmonies, etc. I first heard one, embraceable you, today, which was breathtaking in its virtuosity and its sensuous impressionistic sonorities.

Which ones are you favorites? Why? Which have you played? Which do you find technically most valuable/interesting?

Discuss.

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert. (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

I play(ed) the etude on "I Got Rhythm" a couple of years ago. It's a pretty cool piece with both jagged syncopation and cute bitonal moments... pain in the ass to play though. My favorites are the "Embraceable You" and "Liza" ones, the former being such a lush and exquisite gem.
