Why did Franz Liszt write "Im Rhein"?
Yes, the Liszt Douze Grandes Etudes are considered highly difficult and technically demanding pieces for pianists. They require advanced skills in finger dexterity, hand coordination, and expressive interpretation, making them a significant challenge even for experienced musicians. Their complexity, both in terms of technical execution and musicality, places them among the most formidable works in the piano repertoire.
Franz Liszt composed mainly in Poland and in France
He did not write 12. He wrote 27. 12 in Op. 10, 12 in Op.25 and "Trois Neaveux Etudes". The first two sets are the most popular and the last is considerably easier than the 24 preceding it. Composers write etudes in the Romantic period as a way to show off their virtuosity and they are also short and expressive lyric or character pieces. They also often focus on one technical aspect, like double thirds, arpeggios, large intervals, etc. Chopin and Liszt are the more popular etude composers who transferred the etude from a dry exercise to an expressive device. Those etudes are favourites among virtuosos like Horowitz, Ashkenazy, Richter, Pollini and Ruberstein.

Etude might be the word you are going for. It is the French word for study. But Chopin put the old notion of 'etude' to rest when he wrote his. His etudes are groundbreaking. They are studies to be sure, but it is not at all unusual to hear them in concert settings. He wrote his etudes as pieces of music, interesting on their own independent of their technical aspects, which are formidable. His friend Franz Liszt was inspired by them, and created some of the most fantastic 'etudes' ever written, the Transcendental Etudes. Maybe the word you are really going for, then, is exercise, as in Hanon or Pishna.
