Piano Pieces

Since most of Lisztâ??s vast output of piano music both original and arranged was obviously intended for the virtuoso it's easy to forget that he also wrote short and beautiful pieces which are technically undemanding. Moreover many of these are far more interesting musically than the typically brilliant works. By way of introducing this less familiar side of a great keyboard composer this edition offers twenty-one non-virtuoso pieces that he wrote between the ages of 38 and 74. They are arranged roughly in chronological order and prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions and performance notes. This book comprisescollections of pieces which include: Consolations Six Pieces S.172; Vier Kleine Klavierstucke (Four Short Piano Pieces) S.192; and Funf Ungarische Volkslieder (Five Hungarian Folksongs) S.245.

He wrote many new works also ones for the Piano for which he had only written a few pieces after his first years ofcomposing.Bach's music played an important role in the Schumanns' house at the time; this is mirrored in the fact that Schumann turned to baroque forms again. However he wanted his fugues to be understood as 'characterpieces just in a stricter form'.The Piano Pieces in Fughetta Form op. 126 published in Henle's catalogue for the first time unite the strict formal demands with romantic expression in a masterly manner.
