The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!

Adam Zhang ok now my replies are "pending review" whatever that means

Adam Zhang I believe that that means you inadvertently used a word or said something that an algorithm thinks could be against the community rules. 

Noel Nguyen Ok, great! I will refine Soirees de Vienne and choose one to play!

Alexander Weymann Why Lyapunov?

Maria alright i guess im gonna have to test to see which word it is

Alexander Weymann oh, do lyapunov's transcendentals count as transcendentals? I know the whole theme is Liszt Transcendental Etudes, so if there is overflow, I don't have to do the S140 encore. however, it is my only Liszt short piece i have :/ i don't think a 15 minute ballade or 25 minute opera transcription would be fitting of the occasion. 

Adam Zhang ah it turns out i cannot use the commonly used gen z remark that means "laughing your gluteus off." its a thing of habit in high school

Adam Zhang Oh, that makes sense. I actually don't know what it is, and I don't need to know (I don't use slang and don't like slang).

Maria I was being somewhat facetious. He’s the only other composer who wrote a set of “Études d’execution transcendante”. 

Adam Zhang I was (mostly) joking. But I do think if someone couldn’t get any of the Liszt ones learned in time but did have one from Lyapunov’s set ready, we would welcome that submission with open arms because those pieces are heard so rarely. 

Alexander Weymann haha. perhaps for a bach one i could play PDQ bach. lol.

Adam Zhang PDQ Bach is not Bach. What about Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, instead?

Adam Zhang that’s a good one. 😆 Do it! 😁

Alexander Weymann 

If Adam Zhang ever plays PDQ Bach for a Bach challenge, I will play JCF Bach. 

Maria hey at least the forgot bach gets some credit then. Probably JS, CPE, and JC in order of bach popularity nowadays

Adam Zhang That is what I meant!
