Franz Liszt: Piano Works Volume 10: Piano: Instrumental Album

This volume presents easy pieces for piano by great virtuosos. It unites the two greatest, and perhaps best-known, pianists of the 19th century, Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt. The technical requirements of these works are very moderate without muting the stylistic characteristics of these two composers. The ability to play an original composition by Liszt in the first years of lessons can be very motivating for the piano student. Also featured in this collection are works by the virtuoso Ferdinand Hiller, to whom Robert Schumann dedicated his Piano Concerto. As in many of the works by Liszt and Chopin, Hiller's works are frequently reminiscent of folk music. His Irländisches Lied and Fandango, included in the collection, are fine examples of 19th-century 'world music'. / Piano

The Complete Schwanengesang-The foremost pianist-composer of his day Franz Liszt unselfishly promoted the works of his fellow composers through his brilliant piano transcriptions of their music. Among his most inspired contributions to the literature were his legendary transcriptions of Franz Schubert's songs. This volume the third in the series contains Schubert's complete Schwanengesang and nine other great lieder. Reproduced from extremely rare early editions edited by Liszt himself they retain all the lyric beauty and emotional depth of Schubert's original music yet reflect Liszt's incomparable mastery of the difficult art of transcription from the original medium of voice and pianoto that of solo piano.

Rosemary Brown (1916 - 2001) was a medium who sensationally claimed that dead composers were dictating new musical works to her. She created a small media sensation in the 1970s by claiming to produce works dictated to her by Franz Liszt Johannes Brahms Johann Sebastian Bach Rachmaninov Franz Schubert Edvard Grieg Claude Debussy Chopin Schumann and Ludwig Beethoven. The opinions of musical critics were varied on the merit of Rosemary's transcriptions but most agreed that in their style they bore a great resemblance to the composers' published works.Opinion is still divided about her claims and although there is scepticism many musicians of note such asRichard Rodney Bennett who said A lot of people can improvise but you couldn't fake music like this without years of training. I couldn't have faked some of the Beethoven myself have shown great interest.In 1969 she was put to a test by the British Broadcasting Corporation who set her at a piano where she waited for the spirit of Liszt to contact her. In due course she produced a piece that she said had been dictated to her by the dead composer. It proved too hard for her to play so another pianist was engaged to play it. The piece was subsequently studied by a Liszt expert who said it had definite similarities to Liszt's work.

The Consolations are among the best-known Piano works by Franz Liszt. Their popularity is due not only to their expressive and lyrical character but also to their relatively moderate pianistic demands. Having a long history the final version of the six pieces appeared in print for the first time in 1850. The Wiener Urtext Edition provides this version authorized by Liszt for publication the text of which is mainly based on the German first edition owing to the lack of extant autographs and engraver's copies. In addition the French first edition as well as separate editions of the Consolations Nos. 3 and 5 published in London or Paris wereconsulted as well. The edition is complemented by performance notes of the Liszt pupil Lina Ramann which are virtually first-hand records of Liszt's interpretational ideas. Furthermore a clear notation without page-turn problems makes it easier to study and perform the popular works.
