Abstract
This document explores the second version of the Paganini Etudes (1851), outlining some of the characteristics of the transcription process from violin to piano in terms of pianistic devices used by Liszt to translate the capriccio and concerto theme into the piano-etude form. This document aids students, teachers, and performers in the learning process of these etudes by addressing the cognitive process from the perspective of a performer learning the basic requirements needed to master the pieces. With a short background and overall formal structure, each piece is viewed from the perspective of its original conception in the violin. Some elements of the transcription process and stylistic analysis of Liszt’s use of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic characteristics are outlined in order to aid the learning process. Each chapter includes a “practice suggestions and guide” section where elements of technical problems, hand subdivision, and parsing of the score for memorization are explored with suggestive exercises and preparatory learning guides. The document also explores the physical-technical aspects of practicing the etudes, specifically, helpful exercises and the finger regimen needed to physically prepare these etudes for performance.
