Kissin evgeny transcendental

Composition for piano by Franz Liszt

Transcendental Étude No. 10 in F minor, "Allegro agitato molto", is the tenth of twelve Transcendental Études by Franz Liszt. The occasionally-used alternate title, “Appassionata”, was not given or authorized by Liszt, but instead provided by Ferruccio Busoni, in an early edition.^[1][2]

Passage work for the left hand is rather difficult, while the right hand plays the melody mostly in octaves. Other difficulties include cramped spacing (the hands are often close together), left-hand arpeggiated passage work, complex figurations in polyrhythm, and the right hand ascending the keyboard in swiftness using only the thumb, the third, and fourth finger.

The étude is in sonata form, with a second group in E♭ minor, and an explosive coda. The climax occurs right after the softest part of the piece and is an octave D♭ played 23 times in a row with rhythmic changes and rapid Kissin evgeny transcendental view.
