Description:

Pianist Amir Katz says that “Liszt’s Exercises are one of the pinnacles of piano music history, a great work that transcended tremendous technical difficulties and influenced poetry, literature, painting, and folklore.” His motto is to give his own unique interpretation of any work, and he tackles the piece head-on, exploring the influence of this tremendous exercise on later generations by researching testimonies from students who used the exercise in a master class Liszt gave a few years before his death, and delivering a masterful performance.
