Liszt's 6th Paganini étude is a virtuosic reimagining of Paganini's 24th Caprice, showcasing unprecedented piano techniques that defined Romantic-era keyboard writing.

Fourth piece from Liszt's Transcendental Études, based on Hugo's dramatic poem depicting Mazeppa's wild ride. Considered one of the most technically demanding works in piano literature, exemplifying Liszt's revolutionary approach to keyboard writing.

Liszt's Grandes études de Paganini transcend mere technical exercises, transforming Paganini's violin virtuosity into revolutionary piano language. These six études, composed after attending Paganini's concerts, pushed piano technique to unprecedented levels, with the famous "La Campanella" (No. 3) becoming a hallmark of Romantic pianism. Liszt later simplified them as Études d'exécution transcendente d'après Paganini (S.140).
