One of the most impressive feat of piano playing along with 4 rachmaninoff concerti+rhapsody in one evening or the whole Alkan’s op.39

Yuja Wang is just amazing

I saw her perform the "cycle" in Punta Gorda FL last year. She was outstanding but at intermission she was standing in the hallway greeting concert goers and massaging and pulling on her fingers seeming to stretch them. It must be quite a workout.

This is incredible! Congratulations on this massive accomplishment, Asiya! 👏👏👏

hugely interesting ! thank you , asiya :)

I wonder if she knows about Lyapunov's twelve transcendental etudes, which REALLY complete the set (rather than just playing the other sets)

It was an incredible journey seeing this program in person today. Such a beast program.

I like how when she got to college she already could play the transcendental etudes xP

The human spirit can sometimes brake impenetrable barriers that seem impossible to climb or break........talent and determination can......well done Asiya Korepanova.

She is such an insightful artist and person, really inspirational to me as a pianist and composer. Thank you

I enjoyed listening to her story

Awesome Asiya

My big friend, Assya! I love you!

that would be insane if someone played the grande etudes and then the second version of the paganini

she is playing friday night in ft lauderdale...Pianist Asiya Korepanova plays Rachmaninoff's complete Etudes Tableaux

I have to admit I didn't think this was even possible, but for an etude nerd like me I'm thrilled at the chance to hear them all in one night. As far as I know she will play them again next year in NYC, I'm not sure where or if anywhere else.

What about 1838 versions

And 1826 versions plus stand alone Mazeppa, that's 49 etudes. Let's not forget about the 1840 versions of the paganini etudes, 56 (7 extra) and also the earlier version of Ab irato, 57 etudes. 57 Liszt etudes lol, and that's not including S.146 with over 60 exercises.

A remarkable accomplishment. From what he heard on the video Korepanova plays these pieces very well. BUT - To be pedantic, they aren't really a cycle. I doubt that Liszt even intended for the 12 Transcendentals to all be performed in a single concert, let alone adding in the other 12. I'll let it slide, simply because we also refer to (e.g.) "the Beethoven cycle of sonatas" which obviously aren't going to all be performed in one concert by one pianist. Far more troublesome to me was the fact that Korepanova only mentioned the LISTENER once in the enitre video. I'm sure many Liszt nerds (and I am one) and even some more general piano nerds might be willing to endure hearing all 24 etudes in one concert. But I'd also bet that quite a lot of them would start to get squirmy, lose concentration, doze off etc. at some point in the proceedings. And for audiences consisting of people who like classical music but who don't know all that much about it, this kind of programming seems downright unfriendly to me. I certainly understand why a young artist would want to climb this kind of Everest, but I think they would do well to remember that they're not just playing for themselves or the composer. They have an audience whose sheer PHYSICAL comfort should be given strong consideration. (And yes, I know, Wagner obviously didn't consider the physical comfort of his audiences. Much though I love his music, I think it's a serious flaw.)

It's not for everyone. But I'm highly intrigued. In the US it's hard enough to find anyone performing even 6 or 12 of them, so getting the chance to get 24 in one night sounds immensely appealing to me and I'm going to try to find a way to go when she plays this in NYC next year.

Just saw her perform this in NYC and while it was demanding, it was also incredible. Her attention to detail, her shadings and dynamics, her warmth….astounding.

In fact, except these 24 Etudes you mentioned here, Liszt wrote another 68 Etudes in 3 books! It's called Technische Studien, S.146, but these etudes are just for training the independence of the fingers, just like Hanon. If you are interested, they are available on IMSLP! By the way, there are also another 2 earlier versions of 12 Transcendental Etudes, one is easier (S.136), and the other is harder (S.137). 😄
