"Ronde des Fantômes" is the 2nd etude in the set of Sergei Lyapunov's 12 Transcendental Etudes, a honorary continuation of Franz Liszt's 12 Transcedental Etudes. It translates to "The ghosts' dance" and was written in the key of D♯ minor.
Wikipedia continuation:
The 12 Etudes d’exécution transcendante[1] (English: 12 Etudes of Transcendental Execution), Op.11, was a series of 12 etudes written from 1897 to 1905 by Sergei Lyapunov, and served as the posthumous continuation of Franz Liszt's uncompleted work Transcendental Études, having only the first 12 finished before his death in 1886. The work is also dedicated to Liszt, with the twelfth etude being named after the composer as well. Inspired by one of his three teachers during his time at Moscow Conservatory Karl Klindworth, a former student of Liszt, along with being heavily influenced and artistically guided by Mily Balakirev, the main ideologue of The Five, these Etudes use the full gamut of Nationalist techniques: From folk-songs and church bells, to Caucasian melodies and sumptuous melodicism.[2]

Big respect for whomever can pull this passage off so well. It completely disregards any hand comfortability

@@Xyriak I've started this piece today, going to practice on a grand tomorrow. That whole page is gonna take half a day to get smooth, and many months to be seamless like Florian lol

@@none5020 Good luck brother. Having quickly played through most of these etudes, I can say that this is likely the hardest one (if not tied with no 9 or 11), but sounds super satisfying when it's pulled off!
