La Chasse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Chasse (The Hunt) is a piano etude written by virtuoso pianist Franz Liszt as part of a series of the six Grandes Etudes de Paganini ("Grand Paganini Etudes"), S. 141, composed in 1838, revised in 1851. It is based on Paganini's ninth caprice for violin.
As the name implies, it simulates a hunt by emulating flutes and horns.
Technically, with the exception of a couple of glissandos, this piece is not very difficult, because it only uses thirds that are slowly played.
