Liszt was one of the greatest piano virtuosos of the 19th century and a very influential teacher who played an enormous part in the development of modern piano technique. For this reason the majority of his works make the highest technical demands of the performer - this selection, however, contains only pieces at an intermediate difficulty level. In addition to the hits (D flat major Consolation, Liebestraum No. 3) the moderately advanced student or amateur player will discover real finds such as the three pieces in the Bunte Reihe ( Colourful Series ), the earlier version of the Valse impromptu and the Romance oubliée ( Forgotten Romance ) and the later, simplified versionthe composer made of the i>Grand galop chromatique. This publication was based on the EMB New Liszt Edition, but bearing practical considerations in mind. Playing - is just playing. It requires a great deal of freedom and initiative from the performer. On no account should the written image be taken seriously but the written image must be taken extremely seriously as regards the musical process, the quality of sound and silence. Franz Liszt war einer der größten Klaviervirtuosen des 19. Jahrhunderts und als Lehrer von großem Einfluss, in der Entwicklung der modernen Klaviertechnik spielte er eine herausragende Rolle. Gerade deswegen konfrontiert ein Großteil seiner Werke die Vortragenden mit höchsten technischen Anforderungen - diese Auswahl beinhaltet aber nur Stücke, die auch schon auf einer mittleren Stufe spielbar sind. Neben den Schlagern“ (Consolation in Des-Dur, Liebesträume Nr. 3) können die drei Stücke aus dem Zyklus Bunte Reihe“, die frühere Version des Valse impromptu und der Vergessenen Romanze, bzw. die von dem Komponisten im nachhinein gefertigte, vereinfachte Version des Grandgalop chromatique für die mäßig fortgeschrittenen Schüler oder Musikamateure eine wahre Entdeckung bedeuten. Die Ausgabe wurde aufgrund der Neuen Liszt-Gesamtausgabe des Verlags Editio Musica Budapest, aber unter Berücksichtigung praktischer Aspekte, angelegt.
