Liszt Transcendental Etude #12
Inescapable darkness and gloom. Each note is a knifing on your heart. It repeats, over and over, with greater intensity and sternness. Forces of nature in execution sans mercy.
啸风暴雨，苦海飞腾。音符如刀，刀刀刻心。非情非念，冷酷始终。
Jorge Bolet is the best interpretater of Liszt's transcendental etudes. Plain precision is the key, emotion be ban'd.
