Music reviews of Liszt: Complete Paganini Etudes

Music Review: Enjoyment of technically challenging music
Rating: 5 Stars

Like Paganini's 24 Caprices for solo violin and other virtuoso works influenced by Paganini, these pieces are best to listen to if you have an idea of the difficulty of these pieces. If you enjoy the complexity of these etudes and have not heard the Paganini Caprices, I suggest you listen to them.

The first fifteen tracks are very similar to each other. Tracks 7-12 are very similar to the corresponding track in 1-6. In almost all of the first fifteen tracks, you can hear the Caprice which inspired each track. In tracks 1 and 7, the opening is similar to that of the Paganini's 5th Caprice in A minor. Though after that, the similarity ends. Tracks 2 and 8 are based on Paganini's 17th Caprice in E flat major. Tracks 4 and 10 are based on Paganini's 1st Caprice in E major. Tracks 5 and 9 are based off of Paganini's 9th Caprice in E major. The last two tracks bear little resemblance to any of Paganini's Caprices.

As I play the viola, it is somewhat difficult for me to understand the difficulty of these pieces for the piano. However, when Liszt wrote these pieces, his objective was to make virtuoso pieces on the level of Paganini's mastery of the violin. I have not listened to these pieces, the Paganini Caprices, or some of Rachmaninioff's pieces for the emotion behind them, but rather to enjoy the pure complexity of these pieces. I can not say much more about them as I am not very well versed with the piano, but I enjoyed them as much as the Paganini Caprices as performed by Itzhak Perlman.
