🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Grandes études in F-Dur S.137/3

No. 3 from Liszt’s Grandes études is an étude that places brilliant virtuosity and forward momentum at the forefront. Passages of continuous intricate motion contrast with moments in which the melody comes to the fore, while the work maintains its tension as it unfolds in a single overall flow. A key point to hear is the way repeated figures gradually gather momentum, leading toward a climax through increasing sonority and expanding register. In performance, it is important not only to maintain evenness in the fingers, but also to shape the direction of the inner voices and melody and to avoid blurring the texture with the pedal. Rather than rushing the tempo, a broad projection of the phrase contours and dynamics allows the brilliance of the technique and the musical momentum to coexist.
