Transcendental Étude No. 3 (Liszt)
Composition for piano by Franz Liszt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transcendental Étude No. 3 in F major, "Paysage" (Scenery) is the third of twelve Transcendental Études by Franz Liszt.[1] It is generally considered to be one of the less difficult studies.
The piece suggests a peaceful country scene. It is said that Liszt got the idea of writing this étude while watching the scenery change during a train ride.[citation needed] The first section is played poco adagio with a sempre legato e placido indication at the start. There are gentle arpeggios and constant dynamic changes and syncopation, and the melody is often played in thirds or octaves.
