Par LISZT FRANZ. This final volume in Liszt?s Années de pèlerinage in the Urtext edition by renowned Liszt scholar, Leslie Howard, contains the Troisième Année ? Italie S163, together with Trois Odes funèbres S516, S516a and S517. Although the Odes funèbres are not originally part of the Années they have been included in this volume because they form a musical and spiritual bridge between Années II and III. Together, these works demonstrate a character not met elsewhere in the great music literature of the nineteenth century. The thinning out of the style, almost to the point of deliberate barrenness, and the simultaneous impression of avant-garde pioneering and the reflection in solitude, even loneliness, that comes with age are particular to Liszt.

The Consolations are among the best-known Piano works by Franz Liszt. Their popularity is due not only to their expressive and lyrical character but also to their relatively moderate pianistic demands. Having a long history the final version of the six pieces appeared in print for the first time in 1850. The Wiener Urtext Edition provides this version authorized by Liszt for publication the text of which is mainly based on the German first edition owing to the lack of extant autographs and engraver's copies. In addition the French first edition as well as separate editions of the Consolations Nos. 3 and 5 published in London or Paris wereconsulted as well. The edition is complemented by performance notes of the Liszt pupil Lina Ramann which are virtually first-hand records of Liszt's interpretational ideas. Furthermore a clear notation without page-turn problems makes it easier to study and perform the popular works.

Par LISZT FRANZ. La genèse et la publication des deux premiers volumes des Années de pèlerinage de Liszt sont étroitement liées. À peine un an après leur retour de Suisse, Liszt et sa compagne, Marie d?Agoult, entreprennent en août 1837 un voyage en Italie qui durera plus de deux années. Si, dans le volume Suisse, le compositeur s?était principalement attaché à dépeindre en musique la nature, les paysages et l?histoire du pays, il transcrit dans la partie Italie des impressions provenant de la poésie (Pétrarque, Dante) et des arts plastiques (Raphaël, Michel-Ange). L?ensemble de sept pièces composées entre 1838 et 1849, qui s?achève sur son point culminant, la sonate dite Dante, a fait, avant sa publication en 1858, l?objet de multiples remaniements partiels. Le cahier Venezia e Napoli, paru trois ans plus tard sous forme d?un supplément, est disponible séparément sous la référence HN 985. Par ailleurs, la présente édition révisée prend pour la première fois en compte une copie manuscrite du n° 2 (copie destinée au graveur), comportant des corrections de la main de Liszt. Le pianiste suisse Francesco Piemontesi a pu être sollicité pour la réalisation des doigtés. / Date parution : 2022-02-03/ Recueil / Piano

New edition based on the composer's manuscript-This edition of the three concert études is the first and only for which the composer's autograph has been taken into consideration. This allows Liszt's popular Piano cycle to be seen in the most authentic form available today. No closer information has emerged about the origins of the études which appeared in 1849. The autograph which contains all three studies in complete form with elaborated notation and furnished with performance markings appeared in a catalogue in the mid-1930s. But after it was bought by the French pianist François Lang (1908-1944) there were doubts about its whereabouts for several decades. So even Volume I/2 of thecomplete New Liszt Edition published by Editio Musica Budapest in 1971 could rest only on the notation of the first printed editions. The new version edited by Adrienne Kaczmarczyk that appears here pays close heed to the points where knowledge of the manuscript calls for alteration and addition. The autograph also used as the engraver's copy confirms an earlier suspicion. The widely used subtitles (1. Il lamento 2. La leggerezza and 3. Un sospiro) were thought to be alien to Liszt's approach and are now known not to originate from the composer. They were presumably dreamed up by a Paris publisher.

Franz Liszt n'a pas seulement écrit une série de phrases par l'opéra pendant ses années de virtuose, mais certains composé de la sorte dans les années à Weimar ses partir de 1848e Il n'a pas, cependant, les écrire pour lui mais pour l'ami pianiste (qui était alors son beau-fils) Hans von Bülow. Parmi ces oeuvres, la paraphrase sur Giuseppe Verdi 'Rigoletto', qui a été publié en 1860, occupe une place particulière en raison de son incroyable virtuosité et en même temps sa texture en filigrane. A l'occasion du 200e anniversaire de naissance de Liszt, G. Henle éditeurs présente un fac-similé de l'autographe de ce travail, avec un commentaire détaillé, ainsi que dans Urtext édition (HN 978). Comme il s'agit d'un manuscrit de travail, de sorte que le fac-similé qui permet de scruter de manière Liszt de travail. / Piano / 6 pages / Partition

Hungarian Fantasia S123-Performed by Neill Eisenstein piano Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn Liszt transformed the whole concept of the concerto when he cast his A-major concerto in one single movement using the idea of thematic transformation. A poetical masterpiece both serene and glitteringly exciting which stands at the very pinnacle of Romantic piano literature. Liszt used his own Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14 as the basis for the Hungarian Fantasia the second piece featured on this MMO release. With its triumphal themes sparkling cadenzas and breathtaking finale this single-movement mini-concerto is a sparkling musical gem! A wonderful eminently accessiblepiece due to its relatively short length. Includes a high-quality printed music score and a compact disc containing a complete version with soloist in split-channel stereo (soloist on the right channel); then a second version in full stereo of the orchestral accompaniment minus the soloist.

Following the revision of our facsimile of the Piano Sonata in b minor (HN 3227) in 2015, we are now proud to present the corresponding new Henle Urtext edition. With the help of the splendid facsimile reproduction we were able to analyse several passages in the autograph more reliably - in addition the editor Ernst Herttrich not only consulted the first edition but also a copy of a student of Liszt's, in which the composer had made entries in his own hand. Clara Schumann reacted with a lack of understanding when Liszt sent the sonata: 'It is only blind noise - not a single healthy thought, everything confused.? Today we view this differently. Our new edition of this key piano work is further enhanced by the sophisticated fingerings supplied by the piano titan Marc-André Hamelin. / Piano

La «Marseillaise hongroise» ? c?est ainsi qu?on désigne volontiers la marche de Rákóczi. Les débuts de ce Marschlied remontent à 1730. Dans le texte, les Magyars demandent à François II Rákóczi de libérer son peuple de l?oppression des Habsbourg. On retrouve la mélodie dans de nombreux arrangements, par exemple chez Brahms et Berlioz. Liszt aussi a écrit quelques arrangements selon divers degrés de difficulté. «Arrangé pour l?exécution en concert», Liszt a finalement intégré ce thème à sa 15e Rhapsodie hongroise, pleine de virtuosité. Notre édition Urtext est introduite par une préface érudite de Mária Eckhardt, musicologue hongroise, spécialiste de Liszt. / [Rhapsodie Hongroise n°15 - Marche de Rakoczi] / Classique / Doigtés: Andreas Groethuysen / Partition / Broché / Edition Urtext
