First Performances of the Études transcendantes
This page consists of a chronological list of the first performances of Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji’s Études transcendantes (100) (1940-44; 456 pp.). It complements the list of first performances of his works, which includes only the first performance of some of these etudes.
A list arranged by etude number, giving duration (both individual and cumulative, from Fredrik Ullen’s recordings), performer, date, city, and country, can be found on the Sorabji Archive’s website.
See the introductory notes for each Étude.
