Summary of This Book
The Joy Of Liszt brings together an inspiring selection of 18 solo piano pieces that highlight the full richness of Liszt's language: spectacular virtuosity, harmonic poetry, lyrical impulses, and contemplative atmospheres. Designed both as an entry point and a deepening experience, this collection allows exploration of different facets of the composer, from salon to stage, with a pianistic writing that is always inventive and deeply expressive.
It notably includes essentials such as Un sospiro (from the 3 Concert Études, S.144), the brilliant Rakoczy March (S.244c), as well as Cantique d'amour (No.10 from Harmonies poétiques et religieuses III, S.173). The book also offers pages from the Consolations (Nos. 1, 3, 5) and excerpts from the Years of Pilgrimage (1st year - VII. Eclogue, 2nd year - VI. Petrarch's 123rd Sonnet, 3rd year - I. Angelus! Prayer to the Guardian Angels), not to mention pieces with a more singular universe such as Bagatelle sans tonalité "Mephisto Waltz", S.216a, En rêve (Nocturne), S.207, as well as Valse oubliée No.1 (S.215) and Valse-Impromptu, S.213. An excellent choice to develop color, agogics, and phrasing in a piano repertoire as demanding as it is rewarding.
