Alan, I'm not so sure that Liszt's early set of etudes were ever meant to be played in public. They were pretty primitive and uninteresting - not far removed stylistically from Czerny exercises, so it would surprise me if Liszt concertized with them. Do you have a source on this?
It's my understanding that Chopin's Op. 10 was the first impetus for the "Concert Etude" genre, but I'm also sourceless here. You also left out the etudes of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin, which one hears actually more often than the Debussy. I'll go ahead and change that sentence myself. All the best.[[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 18:45, 25 March 2009 (EDT)
