Il Sospiro

Sospiro Della Sua Donna. Aus: Italienische Madrigale. Par SCHUTZ HEINRICH. Tonalité : dorisch - SWV 14 (op. 1 #14)/ Répertoire / Choeur SSATB

with Un Sospiro-Uses: Advent Christmas Scripture: Exodus 33:14-15 Deuteronomy 31:6 John 15:4 The echoes of a romantic piano classic usher in this hymn adaptation with tender emotion and elegant styling. The piece evolves organically allowing for directors to focus on the expressive potential of each phrase. Quality part-writing is an encouragement to the learning process and the message of God's presence and comfort is timeless. Simply beautiful!

New edition based on the composer's manuscript-This edition of the three concert études is the first and only for which the composer's autograph has been taken into consideration. This allows Liszt's popular Piano cycle to be seen in the most authentic form available today. No closer information has emerged about the origins of the études which appeared in 1849. The autograph which contains all three studies in complete form with elaborated notation and furnished with performance markings appeared in a catalogue in the mid-1930s. But after it was bought by the French pianist François Lang (1908-1944) there were doubts about its whereabouts for several decades. So even Volume I/2 of thecomplete New Liszt Edition published by Editio Musica Budapest in 1971 could rest only on the notation of the first printed editions. The new version edited by Adrienne Kaczmarczyk that appears here pays close heed to the points where knowledge of the manuscript calls for alteration and addition. The autograph also used as the engraver's copy confirms an earlier suspicion. The widely used subtitles (1. Il lamento 2. La leggerezza and 3. Un sospiro) were thought to be alien to Liszt's approach and are now known not to originate from the composer. They were presumably dreamed up by a Paris publisher.

The Joy Of Liszt is a wonderful collection of 18 original Piano pieces by the towering Romantic virtuoso.This book includes the pieces Un Sospiro Cantique 'd'amour the ever-popular RakoczyMarch and selections from Consolations and Années de Pèlerinage.
