A lot of fascinating rhythms here! Which one is the craziest to you? Today's sheet music trivia (first to answer correctly gets PDF): what scale is being outlined in RH m.112 and why does it work over that chord?
In measure 112, the right hand outlines a diminished scale (also known as the half-whole diminished scale). Specifically, this scale alternates between half steps and whole steps. This scale works over the E7(#9) chord because the diminished scale shares many characteristic tones with altered dominant chords, including E7(#9). The diminished scale in this context likely starts from E and goes: E F (♭9), G , G#, A#, B, C# (♭13), and D. This scale contains several altered tones that work with the tension of the E7(#9) chord, such as the sharp ninth (F) and flat ninth (F♭ or F natural depending on enharmonic spelling), as well as the minor seventh (D), which is part of the dominant structure. The use of the diminished scale adds tension and chromatic movement, helping to resolve smoothly into the following chord while reinforcing the altered, dominant nature of the E7(#9).

Scale: A minor blues
Why: because it's jazz (or because there's A pentatonic in E mixolydian sharp nine)

Scale: Am pentatonic blues scale
Reason: It works because on every off-beat there is either a chord-tone or a common-tone with E(b9).

A minor blues scale
Loved the Caribe reference in 71~79!
Well I can’t say I ever thought of that.
Amazing!
I bet Liszt would have loved this. Thanks for the transcription!
In my opinion, starting from bar 170 there should be 6 bars of solo drums, not 4, otherwise the square will not be observed.
Ah, you're right, I missed that thank you, will update the PDF!
最高です❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️😆👍
That cromatic scale was good liberace would have liked it
Wow so cool👍
Probably no other famous classical piano piece from the big name composers better suited to this treatment.
Would like to hear a cuica in there.
Very nice, but should it be credited to Paganini instead of Liszt? 🤔
Didn't know Paganini did La Campanella... just updated the score thanks.
Actually the composer of this tune is Paganini

Does the sheet includes the percussion and other instruments from the arrangement when i buy it?
Sheet music is for the piano part, as transcribed in this video!
