Chapter 9 Expand Technical Limits – Building Power, Octave Technique, and Endurance
Franz Liszt – Transcendental Etude No. 10 in F minor (Instructor: Gülsin Onay).
This fiery Liszt étude represents peak 19th-century virtuosity.
Prof. Onay coaches the student to push the expressive “passion and dramaticism” to the limit while maintaining the melody line.
The masterclass addresses advanced techniques like rapid left-hand leaps and avoiding “cramped hands” during strenuous passagework.
By grappling with this study, the student greatly expands their technical limits – building power, octave technique, and endurance – and learns to surmount technical hurdles in the service of musical drama.
