Franz Liszt, after a painting of 1856, by Wilhelm von Kaulbach. Hungarian Romantic composer Franz Liszt (1811–1886) was especially prolific, composing more than 700 works.

Mazeppa is ranked among the most difficult of the twelve études both musically and technically, alongside Feux Follets (the fifth in the set). [2] According to G.

Transcendental Étude No. 12 in B ♭ minor, "Chasse-neige" (snow-whirls) is the last of twelve Transcendental Études by Franz Liszt. The étude is a study in tremolos but contains many other difficulties like wide jumps and fast chromatic scales, and it requires a very gentle and soft touch in the beginning.
The pieces are all based on some of the Caprices (Nos. 6/5, 17, 1, 9, and 24) and concertos (No. 2/1) by Niccolò Paganini for violin, and are among the most technically demanding pieces in pianistics (especially the original versions, before Liszt revised them, thinning the textures and removing some of the more outrageous technical difficulties).
