Dans Liszt, John Bell Young faut examiner de près à cette musique opulente, illuminant ses multiples facettes et défis du pianiste engagés perspective.

We have begun with numbers 2 and 6: in the coming years we will be producing editions of all of Franz Liszt?s ?Hungarian Rhapsodies? brilliant pianistic excesses and a favourite with all virtuosos.Hungarian folk music was a source of inspiration for Liszt throughout his life. The best known example is the ?Rhapsodies Hongroises? for Piano which made the characteristic syncopated rhythms of the ?puszta? melodiesand the fiery temperament of the ?csárdás? famous throughout the world. The popularity of these very demanding showpieces for the Piano is shown by the countless arrangements which even include transcriptions for Orchestra.

The B.A.C.H. motif has been known and used for centuries but enjoyed a great revival in the late 19th century as composers paid homage to the composer J.S. Bach. It derives from the German nomenclature and is expressed in standard notation as Bb-A-C-B. The Fantasia And Fugue On B.A.C.H. is one of the most famous Organ works of Franz Liszt (1811-1886). The piece was intended for the inauguration of the famous Ladegast Organ at Merseburg Cathedral but sadly it wasn’t finished in time. Liszt then revised the work in 1870 and produced the version that survives today. A well-loved piece no organist’s library iscomplete without it.

Franz Liszt composed his lyrical-meditative organ fantasia on the Ave Maria von Arcadelt in Rome in 1863. In contrast to his major virtuoso works this charming genre piece can even be easily played on smaller (double-manual) instruments even without swell-organ and reeds. The 'Liszt organ' at the village church of Denstedt near Weimar which was built by the Peternell brothers in 1859/60 and has survived in its original state may be used as an example. It did not become known until in 1927 that the Ave Maria attributed to Jakob Arcadelt (around 1505-1568) was a revised version by the composer Pierre-Louis-Philippe Dietsch (1808 1865) who used the melody of Arcadelt'schanson Nous voyons que les hommes which he then harmonized into his own Romantic four-part choral setting and to which he added the sacred text as a contrafactum. Our separate edition wants to make this rather 'poetic' yet quite easy-to-play organ work without any major technical difficulties accessible to a large circle of interested people.
