Liszt’s Sospiro (a ‘sigh’) is essentially a study in crossing hands, playing a simple melody with alternating hands and arpeggios.

Un Sospiro is also a study in the way hands should affect the melody with its accentuations. The melody is dramatic, almost Impressionistic, radically changing in dynamics at times. The musical work is perormed by Pianist Van Cliburn (in this video), who was one of the most celebrated classical performer of the modern era, known for his flawless technique and unparalleled romantic sensibility.

Un sospiro consists of a flowing background colored by a simple melody. Toward the end, both hands are needed to cross in an even more complex patterns. Since there are so many notes to be played, the hands are required to cross multiple times to reach dramatic notes near the end of the solo piano musical work.
