Das Werk Franz Liszts erfuhr, ausgehend von den avantgardistischen Merkmalen des Spatstils, eine historische Umbewertung. Die Akzentuierung als eine Vaterfigur der musikalischen Moderne, die das Bild des romantischen Virtuosentyps revidiert bzw. erganzt, greift zusehends auf Werke der fruheren und mittleren Schaffensperiode uber. Vor allem im Bereich unkonventioneller Formverlaufe, die teilweise weit uber die programmatische Freizugigkeit der Neudeutschen Schule hinausweist, wie ungewohnlicher harmonischer Zusammenhange, die schon fruh hinter der virtuos-figurativen Aussenhaut das distanzharmonische Prinzip erkennen lassen, treten dabei in den Vordergrund.Die verschiedenen Beitrage in diesem Buch betonen so innerhalb der kunstlerischen Personlichkeit Liszts beide Aspekte als wesentliche, den der Virtuositat und den der Avanciertheit, um sie dem weit verbreiteten Vorurteil einer generellen Unvereinbarkeit zu entziehen.

The arranger of this work (a well-known Hungarian composer living in Romania) writes: +This piece has always excited my imagination, from several points of view. First of all, its name. The German title, the obstinate one, may refer to its ostinato character. This is close to Liszt's programme concept, but the French word 'obstine' is closer in meaning to stubborn. There is just a shade of difference, but to me it is important, because the latter suggests the description of a type of behaviour, the emotional state of a dancer's inner frame of mind abstracted into movements, expressed in dance movements, and this is a fascinating interpretation. The demonstration of stubborn resistance and defiance to the point of exhaustion was not a frequently occurring phenomenon with Liszt. Secondly, at the beginning of the seventies Zoltan Kocsis played the piece in Transylvania. At that time, I asked the composer, +Is the character of the continuous staccato in the left hand sharp, short, or an accompanying background like a constant shadow? Is it a weighty Brahmsian staccato, an ominous knocking? - and so on. Then there are the Bartokian false relations that keep recurring in the work, the B-E flat-G, etc. That foreshadows Debussy, creating harmonic thrills that, when I hear the work, keep my continuing interest alive for it. Finally, my immediate reason for arranging the work was of a family nature: in connection with Liszt's jubilee year, my daughter, who is a cellist, wanted a 'more energetic' piece to play at a bicentenary concert an addition to the existing slow, lyrical, or sombre works written by Liszt for the cello.+.
