Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) wrote his Siete canciones populares españolas (Seven Spanish Folksongs) in 1914 for voice and piano, and it premiered on January 14th of the following year, with Luisa Vela singing and the composer at the piano. The work combines authentic folk melodies and otherwise to offer the infectious melodies and rhythms inherent to the popular tunes with very original piano accompaniments. Songs included: 1. El paño moruno, 2. Seguidilla murciana, 3. Asturiana, 4. Jota, 5. Nana, 6. Canción, and 7. Polo. The immediate acclaim following the 2015 premiere in Madrid helped Falla gain international recognition.

English comments:
A work written in memory of Manuel de Falla in which the author tackles popular melodies and rhythms immersed in the orchestral fabric of the string section. A string section which, thanks to a wise and daring treatment, manages at all times to give a magical projection to the characteristic timbre of the guitar, a brilliant solo instrument.

Una cuerda que tratada con sabiduria y audacia consigue en todo momento dar una proyeccion magica al timbre caracteristico de la guitarra, brillante instrumento solista.

This volume contains Liszt's earliest pieces written in a Hungarian style. The complete set of Magyar dallok / Ungarische National-Melodien [Hungarian songs] consisting of 11 items is published here for the first time in a scholarly edition. The composer began to write them resulting from his first return visit to Pest in 1839. The music of these pieces was partly re-used by Liszt at the beginning of the 1850s in his deservedly popular 15 Hungarian Rhapsodies. The Carnival at Pest was inspired by his second tour of Hungary in 1846 it was later re-worked as the 9th Hungarian Rhapsody. The present volume also contains the so far unknown very first version of the 1st HungarianRhapsody, and in addition two large fragments from the 1840s plus a number of album leaves. A detailed preface in Hungarian, English, and German, including new research results, numerous manuscript facsimiles, and critical notes, makes this volume of the New Liszt Edition an important publication of immense scholarly value. Along with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a paperback version for practical use has also been published. This edition's contents are identical to those of the hardcover edition with the exception that the critical notes are not included.

Dieser Band enthält Liszts früheste im ungarischen Stil komponierte Werke. Die gesamte Reihe der Magyar dallok / Ungarische National-Melodien besteht aus 11 Stücken und wurde hier zum ersten Mal in einer wissenschaftlichen Ausgabe veröffentlicht. Der Komponist begann sie in Folge seiner ersten Wiederkehr zu Pest 1839 zu schreiben. Die Musik dieser Stücke wurde teilweise von Liszt Anfang der 1850er Jahre in seinen verdientermaßen populären 15 Ungarischen Rhapsodien wiederverwendet. Der Pester Karneval wurde inspiriert von Liszts zweiter Ungarn-Tournee 1846: er wurde später neubearbeitet als 9. Ungarische Rhapsodie. Der vorliegende Band enthält ebenfalls die bisher unbekannte ersteFassung der 1. Ungarischen Rhapsodie, ferner zwei große Fragmente aus den 1840er Jahren sowie etliche Albumblätter.
