Transcendental Etude 8 Wilde Jagd by Franz Liszt - difficulty: godmode/10

The date of composition of this collection might arguably stretch back to 1826, when the 15-year-old Liszt fashioned a collection of piano pieces called Étude en douze exercices. He intended to expand the dozen to 48; however, he reworked them into the 1838 version of the Transcendental Etudes. During the period 1851-1852, Liszt revised the 12 pieces once more, now known as Études d'exécution transcendante. The 1838 and 1852 sets are quite similar, the former not necessarily appreciably more difficult than the latter.

"Wilde Jagd" (Wild Hunt) is aptly named, as the mood of this dramatic piece, marked presto furioso, lives up to its title by changing from savage to subtle, from furious to furtive, all to brilliantly portray a hunting scene, as typified in the music of German Romantics going back to Weber.
