This volume presents easy pieces for piano by great virtuosos. It unites the two greatest, and perhaps best-known, pianists of the 19th century, Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt. The technical requirements of these works are very moderate without muting the stylistic characteristics of these two composers. The ability to play an original composition by Liszt in the first years of lessons can be very motivating for the piano student. Also featured in this collection are works by the virtuoso Ferdinand Hiller, to whom Robert Schumann dedicated his Piano Concerto. As in many of the works by Liszt and Chopin, Hiller's works are frequently reminiscent of folk music. His Irländisches Lied and Fandango, included in the collection, are fine examples of 19th-century 'world music'. / Piano

Partition des 24 chansons du Winterreise de Schubert. Reproduit des éditions surveillées par Liszt lui-même. Avec les notes éditoriales, et les traductions en anglais des textes allemands.

Le fait que les oeuvres pour piano de Franz Liszt nécessitent pas toujours les normes techniques les plus élevées ou sont réputés être réservée à quelques professionnels est prouvé par la présente anthologie de la Wiener Urtext Edition. Il comprend des oeuvres de Liszt qui, à partir d'un niveau facile à intermédiaire technique, encouragent à jouer, plutôt que par des harmoniques par les exigences virtuoses, et permettent encore de faire des progrès dans la technique de jeu qui finalement est bénéfique non seulement pour jouer Liszt. La sélection, allant de pièces faciles comme La cloche sonne ou les Consolations n o 1 et 2 à des oeuvres plus avancées telles que 'Au lac de Wallenstadt 'de' Années de Pèlerinage ', prend également l'aspect de popularité dans le cadre de Liszt littérature pianistique en compte. / Piano

All meticulously reproduced from rare early editions overseen by Liszt himself. A modestly priced collection of hard-to-find gems for pianists and music lovers.

Including the Transcendental Etudes, Ed. Busoni. Par LISZT FRANZ. Liszt's reputation as perhaps the greatest pianist of all time is powerfully supported by his dazzling body of work for solo piano. The undiminished popularity of his etudes with pianists and audiences alike have made them among the most performed and recorded works for solo piano in the Romantic reportoire. The first volume, Series 1, include many of Liszt's most inspired piano works and are edited by the great pianist, composer and musical scholar Ferruccio Busoni for the Franz Liszt Society and published by Breitkopf and Hartel in Leipzig in 1910-11. Each set of Etudes is a highly successful work in its own terms and are all fiendishly difficult. The separate ' Mazeppa' is yet another working of one of the etudes from these sets. The individual etudes range dramatically in style from the delicate refinement of 'Feux Follets' to the startling bravura of 'Wilde Jagd' (both from Transcendental Etudes).

Das erhaltene Autograph der h-moll Sonate Franz Liszts ist ein faszinierendes Dokument aus dem Kompositionsprozess: Zahlreiche Streichungen und Überklebungen zeigen, wie Liszt an der Architektur des Werkes feilte. Das bisher im G. Henle Verlag lieferbare Faksimile des Autographs ermöglichte einen brillanten Einblick in diesen Arbeitsprozess - allerdings war es nicht möglich zu sehen, was Liszt an den überklebten Stellen ursprünglich notierte. Diese Überklebungen wurden inzwischen abgelöst, und wir können in unserer Neuausgabe erstmals im Faksimile zeigen, was sich darunter verbirgt. Die fachkundige Einleitung der Liszt-Expertin Mária Eckhardt kommentiert diesen einmaligen Blick über die Schulter des Komponisten ausführlich. / Piano

Die 14 Stationen Des Kreuzwegs. Par LISZT FRANZ. Franz Liszts orgelbegleitete 'Via crucis' für Soli und Chor ist eine musikalische Kreuzwegdarstellung und als solche ein Unikum in der Musikliteratur. Dies gilt nicht nur für das Genre als solches, sondern auch für die musikalische Faktur: ihre progressive Harmonik, ihr Expressivität, ihr abwechslungsreiches Formvokabular. Die Hälfte der 14 Kreuzwegstationen sind reine Orgelsätze bzw. vorwiegend Orgelstücke, technisch zwar nur mäßig anspruchsvoll, musikalisch aber höchst raffiniert. Die Ausgabe enthält ein detailliertes Verzeichnis der vokalen Besetzungsmöglichkeiten, bei denen auch eine Aufführung ganz ohne Solisten denkbar ist./ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB et Orgue

New Liszt Edition III Vol. 1. Par LISZT FRANZ. Composed in 1834, Liszt's Grand duo is based on material from three pieces from the first book (op. 19b) of Mendelssohn's Songs without Words (no. 1 in E major, no. 6 in G minor, and no. 3 in A major). While Liszt made an almost literal transcription of the first piece, he gave the second and third pieces a much freer arrangement, in the style of concert paraphrases. The large-scale concert piece was premiered by Liszt and Chopin on Christmas Day 1834 in a salon in Paris. The Grand duo was not published in Liszt's lifetime, and has survived as a draft. Schubert's Fantasy in C major (also known as the 'Wanderer' Fantasy) was a defining musical experience for the young Liszt. He arranged this masterpiece of Romantic piano literature for piano and orchestra in 1851, at the beginning of his Weimar period, and it was premiered by Julius Egghard in Vienna in December of that year. By 1855, Liszt had transcribed this arrangement for two pianos, because it was played on 22 October 1855 at a concert held in Weimar in honour of his birthday. With the version for piano and orchestra, Liszt attuned the fantasy to the requirements of the concert hall, reinforcing the orchestral effects inherent in Schubert's composition. His aim with the two-piano version was to achieve a similarly grand effect in spaces too small for an orchestra. The arrangement for piano and orchestra appeared in print in 1857, followed by the two-piano version in 1862. This volume comes complete with a detailed preface in English, German, and Hungarian containing new research findings, several manuscript facsimiles, and a critical report in English. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / 2 Pianos

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.

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

Par LISZT FRANZ. Liszt ’s Piano rhapsodies stand in the tradition of his transcriptions of operatic or song melodies, yet employ folk dances and songs as their source material. Completed in 1864, Rhapsodie Espagnole is a late reminiscence of Liszt ’s extended travels to Spain and Portugal in 1844–45. On the basis of two popular Iberian dance tunes, Folia and Jota, Liszt here sets off fireworks of representative rhythms and tone colours with a highly virtuosic presto finale. The long inaccessible autograph manuscript of the composition is now accessible once more – an occasion for G. Henle Publishers to revise its Urtext edition. / Heinemann, Ernst-Günter / Répertoire / Piano
