There's no real reason to play them though. I believe there was someone who (can't remember where I exactly heard it) put it best when they said, "What's the point when Chopin said more with half the notes."

The "Epitome" of piano technique are GODOWSKY´s Etudes on Chopin´s Etudes. That is REALLY difficult to play correctly. Chopin´s etudes are child play compared to them.

PRETTY ADMIRABLE ATTEMPT (FOR A MERE MORTAL) TO CHASE DOWN KISSIN - LUGANSKY SHOULD BE PROUD - BUT REMEMBER KISSIN HAS THE FINGERS OF GOD, AND THERE IS SOMETHING FUNKY SUPERNATURAL HAPPENING THERE, SINCE GOD IS SHOWING OFF HIS BEST WORK IN THESE LAST DAYS - AND FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN INTO KISSIN SINCE THE BEGINNING, WE KNOW THAT KISSIN RIPPED THROUGH THOSE LISZT ETUDES AT ABOUT AGE 15 BETTER THAN ANYONE EVER HAS, OR PROBABLY EVER WILL AGIAN !!!

Liszt etudes do ...
Liszt etudes do have 'subjects'. Vision is very good for the wrist. Also, Chopin etudes 'mesh' a lot of technique in once (like 10-8), which goes about the wrist of the right hand, while having a difficult left hand. If you want to have the technique of a master, you should combine techniques. Both Chopin and Liszt realized that, and did that in their etudes. Training technique requires variety in the etudes you play: monotonous practicing isn't great. No set of etudes is the best!
That was one of the ...
That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard on a piano. He completely captured the spirit of the piece to the point I forgot I was listening to a piano. I feel sorry for people who don't like this!

How somebody can NOT like this??? Best interpretation of this piece i ever heard
Comparing Liszt ...
Comparing Liszt etudes with Chopin etudes, and concluding that one of them is just better, is like looking at a beautiful tree with a lot of different leaves, but removing some leaves, just because they are different, and your view on beauty doesn't contain those leaves. Why can't we leave every leaf intact and respect every leaf the way it is?
