Chasse-Niege

Chase Niege, transcendental etude no 12
How difficult is it?
I’m gonna start it tomorrow and I want to know what to expect, listened to Yucham Lim play it a bit and seems to have a lot of  Tremolos and jumps
With some scales towards the end, is that correct?

The tremolos are the characteristic element of this piece. Keeping them light and even despite everything else Liszt throws in, pedalling clearly, varying attack between trems and other parts etc

One nice thing is this piece is harmonically simple and repetitive so easy to memorise.

Chasse-Neige is often agreed to be the 3rd hardest of the transcendentals. The primary difficulty with it is musical, I believe. Other than that, thorn summarized it pretty well.

Yunchan Lim plays the piece a bit too loud in some parts imo...

HI there. I would say that the main diffuclties in this piece other than a very loose and free techinque without tension (mainly for the persistent tremelo) is probably the jumps. before the coda i believe there is a series of jumps and they prove to be quite troublesome.

(also i believe that etude no 10 is the 3rd most difficult  )
