Liszt explores this theme over several decades, juxtaposing lyricism and satire, seduction and rhythmic vertigo, with a pianistic language as theatrical as it is strikingly effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chronology of these works illuminates their diversity. In an initial period (between \u003cstrong\u003e1856 and 1862\u003c\/strong\u003e ), Liszt composed the \u003cstrong\u003eFaust Symphony\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eZwei Episoden aus Lenaus Faust\u003c\/strong\u003e, from which comes the famous tavern scene \" \u003cstrong\u003eDance in the Village Tavern\u003c\/strong\u003e,\" also known as the \u003cstrong\u003eFirst Mephisto Waltz\u003c\/strong\u003e. Liszt produced various versions (orchestra, piano four hands and two pianos), reflecting the importance he placed on this material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other pieces of the cycle belong to Liszt's late maturity (between \u003cstrong\u003e1880 and 1885\u003c\/strong\u003e ): \u003cstrong\u003eSecond Mephisto Waltz\u003c\/strong\u003e (1880-1881), \u003cstrong\u003eThird Mephisto Waltz\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMephisto Polka\u003c\/strong\u003e (1883), \u003cstrong\u003eFourth Mephisto Waltz\u003c\/strong\u003e (1885), and the \u003cstrong\u003eFifth Mephisto Waltz\u003c\/strong\u003e, subtitled \" \u003cstrong\u003eBagatelle without Tonality\u003c\/strong\u003e,\" probably also from 1885. Collected here, these pages offer a captivating journey through late Liszt, where the writing becomes freer, sometimes bolder, while retaining the momentum of dance and the spirit of Mephisto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by \u003cstrong\u003eEMB\u003c\/strong\u003e in a single volume, this collection is a significant selection, released within the framework of the \u003cstrong\u003eNew Liszt Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e (critical and practical edition, 1982-1984). A relevant choice to enrich a concert program, develop the art of storytelling at the piano, and approach emblematic pieces of Lisztian Romanticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFranz Liszt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eNew Liszt Edition (separate edition)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eEMB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eclassical score\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"EMB (Editio Musica Budapest)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357062680851,"sku":"97585","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/81d94a3033a612a47856170a9769905589b8a33b_9790080139516_5320582b-5754-4316-8ae0-04b19ac48bae.jpg?v=1789453008","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/emb-editio-musica-budapest-liszt-f-five-mephisto-waltzes-mephisto-polka-piano-97585","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
