[cabbynum]

Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched and could not find anything. Also sorry if i am in the wrong place.

I am looking at two editions of these etudes. The edition i have has many mistakes.

any thoughts on either.
The price is not different enough for it to really sway me in either direction. I just dont know which one to get... Any help is appreciated!

I would recommend the Henle Urtext Edition. It has, not only a text that is completely original to the composer's intentions, but also Liszt's own fingerings that are interesting. I can hardly believe that there are errors in that edition. But Sauer's edition published by Edition Peters is also something (they are free on IMSLP). Sauer was a pupil of Liszt and it has more "general" fingerings (Liszt's fingerings can sometimes be strange to people that have a different technique than Liszt).

I got the Vienna urtext

Also the Dover is what I have right now and it has many mistakes.

One edition worth getting is the new Liszt edition that is urtext found on imslp.org edited by Gardonyi et al. It has critical notes and is probably the best thing out there
