ISBN 9790080147115. 23 x 30 cm inches. Hungarian, English, German. Ferenc Liszt; Adrienne Kaczmarczyk.
The content of this volume consists partly of works that have survived in the composer's manuscript and are now published for the first time, and partly of the original versions of pieces that were published during Liszt's lifetime but later reworked. Of the earlier versions connected with Years of Pilgrimage, 2nd Year, Italy, the most noteworthy are the two completed versions of the Dante sonata, which are now appearing in print for the first time. Further important compositions belonging to the Italy cycle are the Petrarch sonnets. The first versions of these that we are publishing were actually published by the composer, and he also included them in his concert repertoire. Another particularly significant piece being published for the first time is the Freischutz fantasia, a characteristic, fine example of the type of opera fantasia Liszt developed at the beginning of the 1840s. Of the waltzes that feature in this volume, in addition to the first version of the concert pieces - the Grande valse di bravura and the Valse melancolique - we have also included three complete, technically less demanding little pieces that Liszt intended primarily as mementos.Territorial restrictions may apply. Please ask before ordering.

NORA’S DANCE is a jazz-influenced rag from 1921, and among the only surviving compositions by Nora Douglas Holt. A charming and exciting work rejuvenated by Lara Downes’ 2021 recording for the Rising Sun label, the rag is both a fun 2 minutes for pianists and audiences, and also a fascinating time capsule. Composed several years after Scott Joplin’s death, and several years before the Charleston pervaded popular music, NORA’S DANCE blossoms with the energy and jazz harmony starting to emerge as The Roaring 20’s, using ragtime and stride as the seed for pianistic style.My own life in music has been driven by a quest to find strong female role models, trails to follow, shoulders to stand on. In Nora Douglas Holt, I find an inspiring example of creativity, independence, and resilience – with a dash of troublemaking. She was a free spirit, a force of nature, and she lived a fascinating and eventful life on her own terms. She reinvented herself through five marriages and at least as many careers. From her beginnings at the piano at age four, she explored many avenues of musical expression – performing, composing, music journalism, broadcasting, teaching – all with inventiveness, style, and zeal.She made the most of the Roaring ’20s, as an artist, socialite, jetsetter, muse, and patroness of the Harlem Renaissance. In 1921 she started an independent arts journal called “Music and Poetry,†where the charming piano solo Nora’s Dance was first published. I think the piece captures beautifully, in a little under 2 minutes, the energy and excitement of those heady years.In 1926, Nora left New York to travel the world, performing in nightclubs throughout Europe and Asia. She put her belongings in storage before she left, and when she came back she discovered that many of her things had been stolen, including more than 200 of her musical compositions. She never composed again.When the Depression hit, she moved out to Los Angeles, where she studied music education at USC, taught music in the LA public schools, and opened her own beauty salon. She returned to New York in the ’40s and worked as a music critic for several major newspapers, then launched yet another career, this time in broadcasting. Her popular radio concert series “Nora Holt’s Concert Showcase†broadcast to New York’s classical music audience, with a focus on Black composers and performers.Ahead of her time, larger than life, full of ideas…. I am so pleased to introduce you to the feisty and free spirited Nora Douglas Holt!

The two piano pieces were inspired by a statue which can be seen in the Egyptian Collection of the Louvre in Paris. The full-length portrait of the couple holding hands was carved in wood by the unknown master more than 4000 years ago (i.e. between 2350-2200, the time of the VIth dynasty's reign). We don't know who they are, where they come from, and we also don't know where they are going. All we see is that they belong together. And in Kurtág's music we can now also hear their quiet footsteps Kurtág wrote the pieces in April-May 2013. The first piece is dedicated to pianist Menahem Pressler, celebrating his 90th birthday that year, the second piece (Double) to the Frenchpianist-teacher, Valérie Haluk. The two pieces can be performed together or separately. This edition has been published for György Kurtág's 90th birthday. (Tünde Szitha) Die zwei Klavierstücke mit dem Titel …ägyptisches Paar auf dem Weg ins Unbekannte… wurden von einer Statue inspiriert, die in der ägyptischen Sammlung des Louvre in Paris zu sehen ist. Das lebensgroße Portrait des Hände haltenden Paares wurde von einem unbekannten Meister vor mehr als 4000 Jahren aus Holz geschnitzt. Wir wissen weder, wer sie sind, noch woher sie kommen oder wohin sie gehen. Wir sehen nur, dass sie zusammengehören. Und in Kurtágs Musik können wir nun auch ihre leisen Schritte hören….

In Volume I/9 of the New Liszt Edition the definitive ten-movement version of the piano cycle Harmonies poétiques et religieuses was published in 1981. On several occasions Liszt mentioned that he attached particular importance to this cycle, and this is confirmed by the fact that he devoted almost two decades (1835-1853) to its composition. This Supplement volume of the New Liszt Edition initiates the reader into the mysteries of the cycle's genesis, publishing 17 completed pieces written for it and 6 that have survived as fragments, together with the album leaves belonging to them. The works composed between 1840 and 1848 also reflect the various concepts of the cycle and theprior history of the movements included in the final version, more than one shows Liszt's skill as an improviser. Among the compositions that survive in manuscript there are gems such as the hitherto virtually unknown Piano piece in G flat major, conceived in a moment of unselfconscious happiness. Others waiting to be discovered include the Piano piece in C minor and the enchantingly beautiful prayer, Litanies de Marie, of which two versions were written. Die endgültige Version des Klavierzyklus Harmonies poétiques et religieuses (Poetische und geistliche Harmonien) von zehn Sätzen erschien 1981 im Band I/9. der NLA. Liszt erwähnte mehrmals, dass dieser Zyklus für ihn von herausragender Bedeutung sei, das bewies er auch dadurch, dass er für seine Komposition fast zwei Jahrzehnte (1835-1853) aufwendete. Durch die Herausgabe der siebzehn beendeten und sechs nur zum Teil erhalten gebliebenen Stücke, sowie der zu ihnen gehörenden fünf Albumblätter, weiht dieser Band der Neuen Liszt Ausgabe Interessierten in die Geheimnisse der Genesis ein. Die zwischen 1840 und 1848 komponierten Werke stellen uns die verschiedenenZyklusvorstellungen und gleichzeitig die Vorgeschichte der Sätze der endgültigen Version vor, wobei uns nicht nur eine den improvisierenden Liszt vor unseren Augen erscheinen lässt. Unter den als Manuskript erhalten gebliebenen Kompositionen findet man auch Perlen, wie zum Beispiel das bis jetzt fast unbekannte.

Der Band beinhaltet mehrheitlich die als Autograph erhaltengebliebenen Werke, die hier erstmalig publiziertwerden, und andererseits ursprüngliche Versionen vonWerken Liszts, die noch zu Lebenszeit des Meisters herausgegeben,aber später überarbeitet wurden.Von den früheren, dem Années de p lerinage, 2e année,Italie-Band zugehörigen Versionen verdienen vor allemdie zwei vollendeten der Dante-Sonate besondere Aufmerksamkeit,die erstmals veröffentlicht werden. Dieweiteren bedeutenden Kompositionen des Italien-Zyklussind die Petrarca-Sonette. Die erste Version dieser Werkesind,wurde schon damals von Liszt publiziert und vonihm selbst in sein Repertoire aufgenommen. UnterdenErstausgaben soll auch auf die Freischütz-Fantasie besonderesAugenmerk gelegt werden. Diese ist ein typischerund niveauvoller Vertreter der Anfang der 1840er Jahreerarbeiteten Liszt’schen Ausprägung der Opernfantasie.
