We’ve arrived at the final week of the Lisztomaniac Challenge!

Over the past few weeks, you chose a piece, took your first steps, and started shaping the music. Now it’s time to share where the journey has taken you.

This week, we’d love for you to post a recording of your Liszt piece or excerpt.

It does not need to be perfect. It does not need to be polished. It does not need to be the final version you’ll ever play.

A short excerpt, a work-in-progress, or a full performance are all welcome.

This week here are some things that you can share!

Your final challenge recording
A short excerpt or work-in-progress clip
What you worked on during the challenge
Something you discovered about Liszt’s music
Something you’re proud of!

Whether you spent the month with a Consolation, a transcription, a Hungarian Rhapsody, a piece from Years of Pilgrimage, a Transcendental Étude, or just a few meaningful measures, thank you for being part of this challenge.

We can’t wait to hear everyone’s Liszt!

Some afterthoughts. (Alert: wall of text incoming)

Again I want to thank you all for sharing my enthusiasm in this project. It started as a very personal project, from my insecurities about aging and losing my cognitive abilities (slowly, just normal for my age!), a goodbye to the extremely virtuosic music that will always be my favorite to play. At some point during this challenge I felt bad for dragging everyone into this. When I started this I thought it would be fun to start this exuberant project featuring a group of amateurs playing all the Transcendental Etudes. But then I started regretting it as I struggled to play the pieces to my liking😅. So thanks again everyone and let's finish off this project in October!

  I also had thought it was going to be the 31st. I can probably record my part by the 31st and maybe by the 22nd, but I am also quite busy and am not certain.

  For the Watch Party of that challenge. We don't know the date of the watch party yet, but most likely some time between oct.22nd and 31st.

  I think most of us would love to have the watch party for the end of October if not the beginning of November. I'm afraid Oct22th is too early😬. Thanks! 🙏

  I am glad that I won't wreck the project if something would come up and I would be unable to record in time. I can currently play my part, and I plan to record it, but things do happen.

Hi everyone,

I have just listened to the recording of tonight‘s concert, and wow, it was absolutely fantastic! Congratulations to everyone who played, simply amazing.

I am looking forward to contributing my part for the October concert, and hearing everybody else’s.

Happy summer practising!
