Complete Edition. Par LISZT FRANZ. Supplementary Volume 16 of the New Liszt Edition contains free arrangements and technical exercises. In the first section can be found early versions of three arrangements. The first consists of the first and intermediary versions of a transcription of Die Rose, a song Schubert composed to a poem by Schlegel. The arrangement of the second movement of Berlioz's Harold Symphony also draws on literary inspiration: Lord Byron's (1788-1824) narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-18) was a literary experience Liszt shared with Berlioz. The fantasy on themes from Bellini's opera La sonnambula [The Sleepwalker] (here the first version of 1842, and the second version dating from the following decade are given) is important in music history because it was while he worked on this (and other operatic fantasies) that Liszt developed a new concept of the form, which took shape in more complex and more concentrated fantasies than before. Particularly interesting material can be found in the appendix. In addition to sketches and drafts for arrangements of Spanish themes, there are three sources published here for the first time, which shed light on technical aspects of Liszt's piano teaching. These are three sets of exercises: the first written by Liszt himself for Valérie Boissier in 1832, the second a copy in an unidentified hand from the same period or slightly later, and finally the third which was noted down in 1871 by Henri Maréchal in Rome based on the composer's dictation. This latest volume of the New Liszt Edition includes a detailed preface in German, English, and Hungarian containing new research findings, together with five manuscript facsimiles and critical notes. Simultaneously with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a practical paperback version has been published, the contents of which are identical to those of the hardcover edition, minus the inclusion of critical notes./ Etude / Piano

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

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

Brilliant transcriptions by the foremost pianist-composer of his day of all 14 songs in the series, including such masterpieces as "Das Fischermädchen," "Am Meer," "Abschied," "Ständchen," "Frühlings-Sehnsucht," "Der Doppelgänger," and other famed lieder. 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).

Franz Liszt
Années de pèlerinage, Première Année - Suisse
Peter Jost (Editeur)
Francesco Piemontesi (Doigtés)
Edition Urtext, reliure paperback
édition révisée
remplace HN 173
Les trois volumes des Années de pèlerinage appartiennent au noyau central de l’œuvre pour piano de Liszt. Dans le premier volume, Suisse, le compositeur traite des impressions recueillies lors d’un long séjour en Suisse, en 1835/36. Les pièces, en majeure partie publiées dès 1840/41, furent ensuite substantiellement révisées par Liszt, et le recueil enrichi de deux numéros, pour atteindre sa forme définitive en 1855. Pour la refonte de l’édition urtext Henle, il a été possible de prendre pour la première fois en compte l’exemplaire – redevenu accessible – ayant servi à la gravure de la première édition. La préface et les remarques exposent de manière détaillée la réévaluation des sources qui en a résulté, ainsi que d’autres avancées dans la recherche lisztienne. Pour la réalisation des doigtés, nous avons pu compter sur le pianiste suisse Francesco Piemontesi. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / HENLE VERLAG

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

The Complete Schwanengesang. Par LISZT FRANZ. The foremost pianist-composer of his day, Franz Liszt unselfishly promoted the works of his fellow composers through his brilliant piano transcriptions of their music. Among his most inspired contributions to the literature were his legendary transcriptions of Franz Schubert's songs. This volume, the third in the series, contains Schubert's complete Schwanengesang, and nine other great lieder. Reproduced from extremely rare early editions edited by Liszt himself, they retain all the lyric beauty and emotional depth of Schubert's original music, yet reflect Liszt's incomparable mastery of the difficult art of transcription from the original medium of voice and piano to that of solo piano.

The fact that Piano works by Franz Liszt do not always require the highest technical standards or are reputed to be reserved for just a few professionals is proven by the present anthology of the Wiener Urtext Edition. It comprises works by Liszt which starting from an easy to intermediate technical level encourage to play rather by harmonic than by virtuoso demands and still allow to make progress in the playing technique which eventually is of benefit not only to playing Liszt. The selection ranging from easy pieces such as La cloche sonne or the Consolations Nos. 1 and 2 to more advanced works such as 'Au lac de Wallenstadt' from'Années de Pèlerinage' also takes the aspect of popularity within the framework of Liszt's Piano literature into account.

Hardcover, Cloth-Bound. Par LISZT FRANZ. This volume contains Liszt's earliest pieces written in a Hungarian style. The complete set of Magyar dallok / Ungarische National-Melodien [Hungarian songs] consisting of 11 items is published here for the first time in a scholarly edition. The composer began to write them resulting from his first return visit to Pest in 1839. The music of these pieces was partly re-used by Liszt at the beginning of the 1850s in his deservedly popular 15 Hungarian Rhapsodies. The Carnival at Pest was inspired by his second tour of Hungary in 1846- it was later re-worked as the 9th Hungarian Rhapsody. The present volume also contains the so far unknown very first version of the 1st Hungarian Rhapsody, and in addition two large fragments from the 1840s plus a number of album leaves. A detailed preface in Hungarian, English, and German, including new research results, numerous manuscript facsimiles, and critical notes, makes this volume of the New Liszt Edition an important publication of immense scholarly value. Along with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a paperback version for practical use has also been published. This edition's contents are identical to those of the hardcover edition with the exception that the critical notes are not included./ Répertoire / 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
