Danse vive was written in 1939 and had its first performance, as did most works of this time, as mentioned by the composer, in the famous occupation Art Salon at Ulica Nowy wiat 27 in Warsaw, led by Boles aw Woytowicz. Lech Miklaszewski made the first archival recording of the piece for Polish Radio in September 1946. After a long period of obscurity, Danse Vive appeared unexpectedly during the inaugural concert of the VII International Festival of Contemporary Music, Warsaw Autumn, on 21st September 1963. W adys aw K dra, after performing Tadeusz Szeligowskis Piano Concerto with the Symphony Orchestra of Polish Radio conducted by Jan Krenz, played Kisielewskis piece as an encore. Mieczys aw Tomaszewski in conversation with Joanna Pruszy ska defines Danse Vive as Toccata 41. Indeed - the free, almost improvised form, the figurative texture and at the same time the uniform lines inlaid with sforzandi syncopated rhythms (although changing time signatures several times) give the composition such a nature. But at the same time Danse Vive can be described as an apotheosis of a Krakowiak, a lively, Galician dance, whose full theme at 44 is shown only once in the piece, after a thickening, figurative outset, not at all reminiscent of folk melodies. [M. G siorowska, Kisielewski, PWM 2011].

English-German.

Liszt was inspired, mainly under the influence of Berlioz's Faust compositions, by the Faust, and much later by the Mephisto themes to write several works. In the first period between 1856-62 he wrote the Faust Symphony and Zwei Episoden aus Lenaus Faust which included Night march and Dance in the village tavern - the latter being also entitled First Mephisto Waltz - these for orchestra, along with versions for piano two and four hands, and for two pianos written simultaneously. The rest of the Mephisto compositions are all late works from between 1880-85: 2nd Mephisto Waltz 1880-1881, 3rd Mephisto Waltz and Mephisto polka 1883, 4th Mephisto Waltz 1885, 5th Mephisto Waltz,subtitled Bagatelle sans tonalité, probably also 1885. The five Mephisto Waltzes and the Mephisto Polka are now published by EMB in one volume (the first such selection world-wide!), as separate edition of the New Liszt Edition, where they appeared in a both critical and practical edition between 1982-84.This publication is printed on high quality, durable paper made from renewable raw materials in an environmentally friendly way.
