The undiminished popularity of his etudes with pianists and audiences alike have made them among the most performed and recorded works for solo piano in the Romantic reportoire. The first volume Series 1 include many of Liszt's most inspired piano works and are edited by the great pianist composer and musical scholar Ferruccio Busoni for the Franz Liszt Society and published by Breitkopf and Hartel in Leipzig in 1910-11.

Each will bring to pianists and their listeners a moving encounter with the genius of this towering musical personality
