| Transcendental Etude No.10 in F minor, Allegro Agitato Molto | Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886) | 5 | 11:10 |
| Ann Anh-Thu Nguyen, Piano | |||
| Transcendental Étude No. 10 in F minor, "Allegro agitato molto" is the tenth Transcendental Étude of a set of twelve by Franz Liszt. Franz Liszt wrote three versions of the transcendental etudes. The first, titled 'Études en Douze Exercizes', came in 1826; the second in 1838; and the final one in 1851. This is one of the more popular études of the set. It is in sonata form, with a second group in E-flat minor, and an explosive coda. This etude is also known as the ‘Appassionata’ Etude as its coda bears similarities to the coda in the finale of Beethoven’s ‘Appassionata’ Sonata. | |||

| Fritz Kreisler was born in Vienna and was one of the most distinguished violinists of all time, at least since Paganini. Kreisler’s Liebesleid (Love’s sorrow) is one of his original works and was composed for violin and piano. Kreisler and Rachmaninoff were great friends and together they recorded sonatas by Beethoven, Schubert and Grieg. Rachmaninoff transcribed Liebesleid in 1921. | |||

| Kevin Suherman, Piano | |||
| The Grandes études de Paganini are a series of six études for the piano by Franz Liszt, revised in 1851 from an earlier version. The pieces are all based on the compositions of Niccolò Paganini for violin, and are among the most technically demanding pieces in the piano literature. The Etude No. 6 was inspired from Paganini's 24th Caprice, with a slightly altered theme and 11 variations. The technically demanding work abounds with rapid octave, scales and arpeggios. | |||
