The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Is Liszt etude 6 at my level?

on: July 21, 2025, 10:16:11 PM

Whats up yall, I am a piano student and was wondering if I was at the level to play Liszt etude 6? I have already learned pieces like Moonlight Sonata 3, Rach Preleude op. 3 no. 2 and Chopin's revolutionary etude.

S. 136, S. 137, S. 139, S. 140, or S. 141?
Should be fine for S. 136 and S. 139, IDK about S. 137 (haven't listened to it much at all), probably not for S. 141 and definitely not for S. 140.

If you are refering to liszt's transcendental etude no.6 "Vision", I think you can try to learn it.

Since you have played moonlight 3rd mvt, that implies you can play arpeggios fairly well. In vision, it is not really arpeggios as in moonlight but there are a lot of single-octave "arpeggios", so you should be able to apply a bit of that.
