Trois études de concert (Three Concert Etudes), S.144, are a series of three piano études by Franz Liszt, composed circa 1848. They are intended not only for the acquirement of a better technique, but also for concert performance. They include:

  • Il lamento (Italian, "The Lament")
  • La leggierezza (Italian, "lightness")
  • Un sospiro (Italian, "a sigh")

Un sospiro, an étude for hand crossing, is the most popular and well known of the three.
