Not many people know that Franz Liszt arranged some of his piano pieces for the cello, with piano accompaniment, and that these versions of the works appeared in print during the maestro's lifetime. Árpád Pejtsik selected two of these for this volume compiled to mark Liszt's jubilee: Elegies I and II. The other compositions by Liszt that appear in the collection were likewise originally works for piano: the Ave Maria and Cantique d'amour (pieces from the Harmonies poétiques et religieuses cycle) were transcribed by a pupil of Liszt, Robert Pflughaupt the cello version, transposed into G major, of the E Major Consolation is by Jules de Swert, solo cellist in the Weimar orchestraof those days that of the Angelus (the opening piece in Volume 3 of the cycle entitled Years of Pilgrimage ) is by Lothar Windsperger, a German composer who lived at the turn of the 19th-20th century.

In diesem Band nahm Árpád Pejtsik zwei dieser Stücke, die I. und II. Elegie auf. Die anderen Liszt-Kompositionen in der Sammlung sind auch ursprünglich Klavierwerke: der Bearbeiter ist beim Ave Maria und Cantique d'amour (Stücke aus dem Zyklus Harmonies poétiques et religieuses) der Liszt-Schüler Robert Pflughaupt. Von Jules de Swert, der damals Solocellist des Weimarer Orchesters war, wurde die in G-Dur transponierte Violoncelloversion der E-Dur Consolation, und vonLothar Windsperger, dem an der Wende zum 20.

Consolation II fur 16 Stimmen stellt einen Teil beziehungsweise eine Schicht eines ursprunglich vierteilig geplanten Zyklus fur Chor und Schlagzeug dar. Jeder der darin vereinigten Texte reprasentiert unter anderem Blickwinkel eine Erkenntnis, die uber die eigenen existentiellen Grenzen hinweghelfen mochte. Der hier zugrunde liegende Text - eine neuhochdeutsche Fassung des ,,Wessobrunner Gebets - lautet:Mir gestand der Sterblichen Staunen als HochstesDass Erde nicht war noch oben HimmelNoch Baum, noch irgend ein Berg nicht waryNoch die Sonne, nicht Licht warNoch der Mond nicht leuchtete noch das gewaltige MeerDa noch nirgends nichts war an Enden und WendenDa war der eine allmachtige Gott.In Consolation II ist der Text nicht mehr verstehbar. Solche ,,Unverstandlichkeit scheint mir legitim und dort kaum vermeidlich, wo Musik und musikalische Form ihre alten sprach-analogen Gesetzmassigkeiten mit anderen vertauscht haben, mit Gesetzmassigkeiten namlich, welche sich gegen die oberflachliche Koppelung mit einem semantisch orientierten und grammatikalisch gerichteten Sprachverlauf sperren. Einen Text ubers Vertonen hinaus ,,komponieren - das muss heissen: in die durch ihn gesetzte Ordnung eingreifen und auf sie reagieren. Dabei geht Consolation II - wie fruher auch Consolation I - von einer Textbehandlung aus, in welcher dank der charakteristischen Okonomie des phonetischen Materials auch trotz volliger Isolierung, Verfremdung und Umstellung der Textpartikel die semantische Bedeutung doch noch quasi ,,von fern signalisiert bleibt. Indem die phonetischen Elemente innerhalb der damit gebildeten Strukturen nicht bloss Mittel, sondern selbst Objekt des musikalischen Ausdrucks werden, stellen sich Text und Werk selbst als ein Teil jener Materie dar, von deren Zeitlichkeit hier die Rede ist.Ein geistliches Werk?

At First Light was commissioned by Eric Bruskin, a resident of Philadelphia, USA, in memory of his mother. Eric had a longstanding enthusiasm for my work, and I was touched to be the person he approached for a task which is both a privilege and a daunting responsibility. In a sense, no music can ever measure up to the weight of love or the hope of consolation vested in it under such circumstances - but in memory I carry the deaths of both my own parents, and I was able to draw upon that. Eric's fondness for my Cello Sonata (itself written in memoriam) led him to ask that I include a solo 'cello part in the new work - but his attachment also to my polyphonic sacred choral writing meant that he wanted a centrepiece which would be both a showcase of that approach and the celebration of a life well lived. Therefore, the seven movements of At First Light arrange themselves as a series of slow meditations surrounding an exuberant 9-minute motet in which the lamenting cello falls temporarily silent.Eric's Jewish faith meant that approaching an agnostic humanist brought up within the Anglican tradition was hardly free of problems! Gradually, though, I was able to win his approval for a collated mosaic of texts. This embraces some liturgical Latin (necessary for the motet) as the shared preserve of broad western culture in general, but balances it with a secular approach to loss, celebration, remembrance and the many shades of our mourning those whom we see no longer. Eric was adamant that he did not want the title Requiem; but what has emerged is still a form of semi-secular Requiem in all but name, taking its title instead from a phrase in the poem by Thomas Blackburn set as the third movement. This seemed to suggest succinctly how the loss of one very close to us is an awakening into an unfamiliar world where everything is changed. Following the exuberant central movement, the texts by the Lebanese-born Kahlil Gibran and the US, Kentuckian poet Wendell Berry first address the departed loved one directly, then place us within an imaginary funeral cortege, where the perennial and universal in human experience become personal without subscribing explicitly to any particular faith (or lack of it). The final text of all is a translation of a Hebraic prayer, requested and provided by Eric Bruskin, which serves to mirror its Latin counterpart heard at the outset.Throughout, the lamenting cello represents a commentary on the experience articulated in the text. It evokes and, in a sense, tries to embrace and sanctify the individual existential journeys of the bereft, as they in turn seek to make their own sense of what the short-lived Second World War poet Alun Lewis called 'the unbearable beauty of the dead' (movement 5).In a modern world hostage to ever greater menace, displacement, bloodshed and anguish, I hope fervently that this music not only brings a measure of solace to the person who commissioned it, but also makes its own small contribution to bailing out the sinking ship of humanity.

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.

Play parties are an American phenomenon with roots in children's games songs from the British Isles. They are song, dance and game all in one. Play parties came about in rural America during the second half of the 19th century. Many of these authentic folk songs are still popular today. This is a one-of-a-kind collection, based on research and interviews of people who actually performed and attended play parties as children. Also included in this terrific resource are the movement instructions for each play party.
