Transcendental Etude No. 12 in B flat minor (Liszt)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transcendental Etude No. 12 in B flat minor is an etude for piano written by composer Franz Liszt. It has the programmatic title "Chasse-Neige", ("impetuous winds which raise whirls of snow") and is the 12th and last of the Transcendental Etudes. The etude is a study in tremolos, but contains many other difficulties like wide jumps and fast chromatic scales, and requieres a very gentle and soft touch in the beginning. The piece gradually builds up to a powerful climax.
