This edition is comprised of 86 different technical exercises composed by Liszt during 1868 to 1880.

The complete series consists of twelve volumes, each one dealing with a different pianistic problem. This edition has been compiled from the original set to present the exercises in a reasonable length without harming the essence and effectiveness of the original work.
