Transcendental Étude No. 6 (Liszt)

Franz Liszt's Transcendental Étude No. 6 in G minor "Vision" is the sixth of his twelve Transcendental Études. It is a study of the extensions of the hand, hands moving in opposite directions, arpeggiated double notes, and tremolos.

The first bar of the Transcendental Étude No. 6

It is one of the easiest études out of Liszt's 12 Transcendental Études, though the beginning of the piece can be quite troublesome if it is played as directed: completely with the left hand (linked hand in the second edition [Dover]). It would require large stretches and dexterous leaps if done so.

Visual image

The visual image of this piece is a funeral. The middle section's wild octaves and rapidly climbing and descending arpeggios are filled with exaltation (as the original notes Franz Liszt scripted).

gollark: Also my old HDD somewhere.
gollark: Can printers ever really be useful though?
gollark: The closest thing would be "dado".
gollark: Routing failure of some kind, which they can't fix remotely because they cannot communicate with the routers, and which also stopped them getting into the buildings.
