Etudes

Which one is the longest? I am starting mazeppa/Liszt and it is 14 pages...

Anyone care to tell me about how you practiced this or would practice? Maybe share a link to a flawless and tasteful performance?

Which one is the longest?

Alkan Op 39 No 8. 72 pages. 29 minutes. More bars than the entire Hammerklavier.

Thank you! I think I'll make it my senior project.

If you do that one, you have to do the next two as well, because together they make up his Concerto for Solo Piano.

No. 75 (Passacaglia) from Sorabji's 100 Transcendental Studies runs the Alkan fairly close in terms of size and no. 100 (Fugue) from the same set  probably exceeds it; all will finally be revealed when Fredrik Ullén's recordings of the entire cycle is complete; it is anticipated to take up 6 CDs altogether (each available separately) and, to date, the first three have been out for some time and these include nos. 1 - 62.

Best,

Alistair
