Antonio Vivaldi (1673-1741) was an Italian composer, violinist and teacher in the Baroque era. His name has become synonymous with the series of Violin concertos known as the Four Seasons , but he also wrote over 500 other concertos for various instruments, as well as dozens of operas and several sacred works. The Concerto No. 23 (RV 425) was written in 1725. Set in the key of C major, it was originally scored for solo Mandolin with String Orchestra and Continuo Bass (Cembalo). It has been arranged for Guitar or Mandolin with Piano accompaniment by the French composer Fernand Oubradous .

This selection is intended to reveal a less-known aspect of the genius of Franz Liszt, the greatest pianist of the 19th century: as a master of piano miniatures. While his large-scale works written over many years show Liszt as a striving composer for whom the creative process was difficult, at the same time, hidden in the shadow of the monumental peaks, the 'moments musicaux' tend to capture him in the process of improvisation, at the moment when a compositional idea flashed into his mind and was first noted down. The miniatures that feature in our selection trace his creative path through six decades (1827-1885), from his youthful testing of his wings right up to his finalfarewell. The manuscript of any piece that did not later become part of a cycle or the starting-point for a larger-scale composition generally remained in the mists of obscurity as a treasured memento preserved by one of his pupils or admirers.

Diese Auswahl will eine weniger bekannte Seite FranzLiszt, des größten Klaviergenies des 19. Jahrhunderts, diedes Meisters der Klavierminiaturen vorstellen. Seine übereinen langen Zeitraum vieler Jahre entstandenen Werke,wie die Klavierkonzerte, symphonische Werke oder dasChristus Oratorium, zeigen ihn als mit sich kämpfenden und schwer schaffenden Komponisten. Nicht so, die imSchatten der monumentalen Kompositionen stehenden 'moments 'usicaux“. Diese halten Liszt im Momentder Improvisation fest, lassen die kompositorischen Ideenin ihrem ersten Aufleuchten erstarren. Die Miniaturendieser Auslese führen durch die sechs Jahrzehnte seinerschöpferischen Laufbahn (1827-1885),beginnend beiden Versuchen der Jugendzeit bis zum letzten Abschied.Die Manuskripte der Stücke, die später nicht Teil einesZyklus oder Anfangspunkt einer großangelegten Kompositionwurden, versanken im Dunkel der Unbekanntheit.
