Description

In his long career as a composer, Liszt (1811–86) wrote some sixty works based on popular operas of his day. This volume, spanning the composer's output from 1835 to 1879, presents a selection of his paraphrases and fantasies on operas written chiefly in the French and Italian traditions. Reproduced directly from a rare Russian edition of Liszt's works, this edition includes the following transcriptions: Sarabande and Chaconne from Almira, Concert Arrangement (Handel) Reminiscences of Don Juan [Don Giovanni] (Mozart) Reminiscences of Robert le Diable: Valse Infernale (Meyerbeer) Overture to William Tell (Rossini) Reminiscences of Lucia di Lammermoor (Donizetti) Concert Waltz on Two Themes from Lucia and Parisina (Donizetti) Grand Concert Fantasy from Sonnambula (Bellini) Reminiscences of Norma (Bellini) Concert Paraphrase of Rigoletto; "Miserere" from Trovatore; Concert Paraphrase of Ernani (Verdi) Waltz from Faust, Concert Paraphrase (Gounod) Polonaise from Eugene Onegin (Tchaikovsky) Encompassing selections as diverse as the Baroque melodies of Handel and the glittering romanticism of Tchaikovsky, Liszt's masterful transcriptions and fantasies reveal his exceptional ability to transform the essence of an operatic theme into unforgettable music for the piano. For this edition, published in association with the American Liszt Society, all headings, footnotes, and other indications that originally appeared in Russian have been translated into English. Liszt scholar Charles Suttoni has both selected the pieces and contributed a new Introduction. Read more

    • Excellent edition, clear notes, and rare music!!
Of all the Dover editions of Liszt's music, I must say this is one of the best. I suggest you buy it if you like liszt's music or operas by Mozart, Bellini, Meyerbeer, or the William tell overture. My personal favorite is Reminiscences of Norma. The chances of you finding music like this in the average sheetmusic store is slim to none. I have found no errors in the publishing, and separate ossias are offered for a variety of pieces in the book. If you are not familiar with these pieces of Liszt, I suggest you put in an order of the book and try to find recordings of the pieces like Reminiscences of Robert le Diable, the Don Juan fantasy, or Wltz from Faust. I consider this book a beautiful collection of music no one should be without. ... show more

    • Some of the most beautiful (albeit challenging) piano music ever written
Some of the most beautiful (albeit challenging) piano music ever written, and nicely presented. Yes, Liszt was quite a showboater (and perhaps nowhere more evidently than in these opera transcriptions) but even then his showboating usually has poetry and ingenious musical architecture. My only complaint is that this volume doesn't contain Liszt's Aida transcription, one of my favorites! ... show more

I was expecting a more comfortable arrangement and the choice of arias is not pleased also. Not what I expected.
