Liszt exercises

on: August 30, 2017, 06:27:51 AM

Hello! Is there anybody who practises Liszt's exercises? How do you practise? How much, and in which way?

I will comment here because no one's done yet, and hopefully someone will soon.

Liszt is said to have wrote that he "practiced exercises 4-5 hours a day".

Some have doubted the authenticity of this huge book of exercises, as few men of his time have referenced it, though it seems too much like Liszt to not be his.

So maybe you will need several hours a day to do that.
