Liszt's Trascendental Etude No. 4 "Mazeppa. Witch version is better.
on: December 25, 2011, 06:48:24 PM
Before I start, i would like to apologise for my English.


So i have been thinking of starting this piece. But there are 2 main versions ( atleast from what i know ) of this etude. I was wondering witch one is better? From what i have gathered, the older version is harder, but I started playing both versions, and i find the second one harder ( atleast the start ), and not as beautiful as the first one. But when it comes to speed, i think the first one would be a bit harder if played at full speed. I might be wrong as I am no Pro at etudes. :) Thank you for your time reading this.
