Summary of This Score
This score offers the piano transcription of Franz Schubert's serenade "Ständchen," based on the poem "Leise flehen meine Lieder" by Rellstab, in the version made famous by Franz Liszt. Far more than a simple reduction, Liszt transforms the lied into a concert piece where the sung line unfolds with sustained cantabile, while the accompaniment recreates the characteristic undulation of the original. First published in 1838 in a version without ossias, the transcription quickly established itself in the piano repertoire, notably after the addition, from 1840 onwards, of more accessible variants that facilitate performance without sacrificing stylistic elegance.
The Urtext edition highlights the interpretive tradition linked to Liszt himself, who enjoyed playing this piece as an encore and annotated small cadenzas, which are incorporated in this new edition. The publication is also distinguished by the inclusion of the lied's text at the opening and its translations, offering a more "vocal" musical approach to phrasing, breathing, and dynamics. Finally, the fingerings proposed by Evgeny Kissin provide concrete insight into pianistic realization: hand passages, connections, balance between melody and accompaniment, and choice of positions to support fluidity. An ideal reference to enrich one's repertoire, develop touch, and cultivate a singing tone at the piano.
