# Work ## Historical, Superficial Franz Liszt was a huge fan of Paganini because of his incredible skill, and the technicality of his music. This led him to set out and compose a set of etudes[^1] inspired from Paganini's works. He originally released them in 1838, then revised them in 1851, dedicating the later revision to Clara Schumann [^1]: Literally translating to "study", an etude is a short song usually meant to help practice a particular technique ## Analysis ### Questions > What did the composer have in mind? > What is the general mood? > What might it mean? > What parts do you most like? > What parts do you least like? > What style is it? > How do you know? > What medium is it > What texture # Composer ## History ## Last Name https://german.stackexchange.com/questions/67786/is-liszt-really-pronounced-like-the-english-word-list TODO ## Freakishly Large Hands TODO
