Summary of This Score
This edition brings together major pages of Romantic Lied in a fully pianistic version, where the vocal line is integrated into the pianist's playing while preserving the poetic momentum and breathing of the song. The title of the work is: Lieder von Fr. Schubert
für das Piano-Forte übertragen von Fr. Liszt [Franz Schubert's Song Transcribed for Piano by Franz Liszt].
The collection offers 12 pieces, presenting a highly contrasted panorama of Schubertian atmospheres: the intimacy and sweetness of Sey mir gegrüßt and Du bist die Ruh, the fluidity of Auf dem Wasser zu singen, the gripping narration of Erlkönig, as well as the fervor of Ave Maria (Hymne an die Jungfrau). Also included are Gretchen am Spinnrade, with its continuous motion evoking the spinning wheel, Meeresstille with its suspended colors, and more dramatic pages such as Die junge Nonne and Rastlose Liebe.
These transcriptions emphasize sound work (singing above the accompaniment), voice leading, balance between registers, as well as the ability to create highly characterized atmospheres. An ideal score for pianists drawn to the grand Romantic style, seeking an expressive, dense, and highly musical repertoire.
