"In Memory of Franz Liszt" is the 12th etude in the set of Sergei Lyapunov's 12 Transcendental Etudes, a honorary continuation of Franz Liszt's 12 Transcendental Etudes. It was written in the key of E minor. This piece features Hungarian rhapsody-esque octave-type melodies. The piece starts off slowing as a rather funeral march, then ascends into a much more gradiose display of Lyapunov's virtuostic piano writing, which reflects that of Liszt's.
Wikipedia continuation:
The 12 Etudes d’exécution transcendante[1] (English: 12 Etudes of Transcendental Execution), Op.11, was a series of 12 etudes written from 1897 to 1905 by Sergei Lyapunov, and served as the posthumous continuation of Franz Liszt's uncompleted work Transcendental Études, having only the first 12 finished before his death in 1886. The work is also dedicated to Liszt, with the twelfth etude being named after the composer as well. Inspired by one of his three teachers during his time at Moscow Conservatory Karl Klindworth, a former student of Liszt, along with being heavily influenced and artistically guided by Mily Balakirev, the main ideologue of The Five, these Etudes use the full gamut of Nationalist techniques: From folk-songs and church bells, to Caucasian melodies and sumptuous melodicism.[2]
