Transcendental Etude No. 11 in D flat (Liszt)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transcendental Etude No. 11 in D-flat, "Harmonies du Soir" is the eleventh etude of the set of twelve Transcendental Etudes by Franz Liszt. This etude is a study in harmonies, broken chords played in quick succession, full octave jumps, chromatic harmonies, chord variations and performance as a whole.
This song is considered one of the most artistic and difficult etudes, along with Chasse-neige.
Visual Image As the subtitle suggests, this song is a picture piece for night, where tolling bells sound off into the night. The piece begins with small, quiet bells but eventually explodes in temultuous splendor as the biggest, loudest bells toll. The closing chords represent the last of the bells, ringing quietly in dignity.
