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.
