Franz Liszt

Hits & Rarities für Klavier: Liszt

Ferenc Liszt was one of the greatest piano virtuosos of the 19th century and a very influential teacher, who played an enormous part in the development of modern piano technique. For this reason the majority of his works make the highest technical demands of the performer - this selection, however, contains only pieces playable by intermediate level pianists. In addition to the 'hits' (D flat major Consolation, Dreams of Love No. 3) the moderately advanced student or amateur player will discover real finds such as the three pieces in the 'Bunte Reihe' ('Colourful Series'), the earlier version of the Valse impromptu and the Romance oubliée ('Forgotten romance') and the later, simplified version the composer made of the Grand galop chromatique.

This publication was based on the EMB New Liszt Edition, but bearing practical considerations in mind.
