Transcendental Étude No. 9 in A-flat major "Ricordanza” by Franz Liszt
Liszt began composing a collection of Transcendental Études in 1826 at the age of 15, but would revise and add additional pieces to the collection up until their final publication in 1852. Liszt had intended to complete a collection of 24 Études to match the 24 major and minor keys, but was only able to complete the 12 Études in the neutral and flat signatures.
The works were intended to technically demanding pieces for both performance and technical development. Liszt dedicated the completed work to Carl Czerny, an Austrian composer and pianist who was also the piano teacher of Liszt.
