Summary of This Score
This collection for solo piano brings together a suite of major Liszt pieces, where the piano writing serves an inner narrative. It includes pages inspired by religious and choral themes, meditations in suspended time, as well as moments of tension and grandeur typical of Lisztian Romanticism. The pianist works on both the depth of sound and the singing legato, as well as mastery of sonic layers, harmonic atmospheres, and phrasing breath.
The content notably features: Invocation, Ave Maria, Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude, Pensée des morts, Pater noster, Hymne de l'enfant à son réveil, Funérailles, Miserere d'après Palestrina, Andante lagrimoso, Cantique d'amour, as well as an Appendix including Pensée des morts (first version). This sequence forms a true musical journey: from the intimate to the monumental, from reflection to light, with writing that demands control of touch, a sense of color, and the ability to make the line sing at the heart of sometimes very dense textures.
