Abstract
Liszt’s Transcendental Études are arduous and complex musical studies, inviting the pianists to present own interpretations and readings of the music. This paper presents a new method to analyze music interpretation in the context of performance tempo. This research looks and compares performances of all twelve études by twelve different pianists, defining maximum, minimum, and total interpretation factors.
