ABOUT THIS EVENT
In 1826, the 15-year-old Franz Liszt published a set of Czerny-like exercises entitled Étude en douze exercices (Study in twelve exercises) as his Opus 1. These later became the thematic sources for the fiendishly difficult Douze Grandes Études (Twelve Grand Studies), published in 1837, just before Liszt was going to take Europe by storm with his transcendental pianism. These were to be further revised, refined and simplified into what would be the third and final version, the Études d’exécution transcendante (Transcendental Études), in 1852. Dedicated to his teacher, Carl Czerny, these studies, except for two, were now given programmatic titles.
In this studio project, “Tiudents” (students of Professor Albert Tiu) will perform the original set of the Opus 1 Studies, as well as the final version called the Transcendental Études.
