Etude de Concert No. 2 (aus 3 Konzertetüden) – Liszt

Liszt’s “Gnomenreigen” (Dance of the Gnomes), the second of his Three Concert Études, is a playful and mischievous piece that depicts the antics of mythical creatures. The piece’s rapid scales, staccato rhythms, and whimsical melodies create a sense of fun and excitement. This arrangement for piano captures the essence of Liszt’s playful style, challenging pianists to master its technical demands while enjoying its lighthearted and whimsical spirit.
