Études d’exécution transcendante, S. 139, R. 2b
The Transcendental Études (French: Études d'exécution transcendante), S.139, is a set of twelve compositions for piano by Franz Liszt. They were published in 1852 as a revision of an 1837 set (which had not borne the title "d'exécution transcendante"), which in turn were – for the most part – an elaboration of a set of studies written in 1826.
