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 requiring a very gentle and soft touch in the beginning it is the most difficult etude to play well save for Feux follets. The piece gradually builds up to a powerful climax.
Feruccio Busoni stated that this is the greatest, most accurate example of program music, or 'poetised music,' as he said.
