Liszt:"Un Sospiro", Three Concert Etudes, No. 3 (HD with piano score)

Franz Liszt, Three Concert Etudes S.144 No.3 "Un Sospiro".
This Liszt etude requires a lot of hand crossings and some very delicate fingerwork and accentuations to bring out the beautiful melody.
Three Concert Études (Trois études de concert), S.144, are a set of three piano études by Franz Liszt, composed between 1845-49.
The third of the Three Concert Études is in D-flat major, and is usually known as Un sospiro (Italian for "A sigh").
The étude is a study in crossing hands, playing a simple melody with alternating hands, and arpeggios. It is also a study in the way hands should affect the melody with its many accentuations, or phrasing with alternating hands. The melody is quite dramatic, almost impressionistic, radically changing in dynamics at times, and has inspired many listeners. The étude has been considered by many pianists as one of the most beautiful piano pieces ever composed. Liszt kept the étude in his repertoire until his final years.

Wow man this sounds angelic. I’m just starting to learn this song and I’m gonna use your interpretation as reference. Keep playing man. :)

[@RolfWahlOlsen]

Thanks very much, glad you liked it. Have fun practicing, this piece is a joy to play!

[@johnsnead2413]

Rolf, this was one of the most stunning performances of Franz Liszt's Un Sospiro I have ever heard. Your tempo is perfection because you are actually feeling the "sigh" he imagined. Beautifully played indeed!!!!!

[@RolfWahlOlsen]

Thank you very much John!

[@klippklapp3004]

I agree, the playing is beautiful but the title „un sospiro“ wasn’t made up by Liszt but rather by his publisher. So you can’t really know what Liszt intended the piece to sound like

[@RayBrookes1954]

My favourite Liszt piece and you play it admirably. Way out of my modest skills I'm afraid but I could probably manage the last 5 bars.

[@YannickGamingYT]
