Liszt Paganini étude no's 4 or 5.

No.4 is particularly enjoyable and virtuosic, and is only written on one line, however, i don't think it makes it any easier, still very hard.

No amount of how-to information is going to work if you have the wrong mindset, the wrong guiding philosophies. Avoid losers like the plague, and gather with and learn from winners only.
