Urtext Edition
Liszts Transcendental Studies of 1852 are without doubt among the triumphs of virtuoso piano music, and their visionary language and poetic expression make them a milestone of the romantic age.
This set of twelve tudes represents the results of the composers own revision of a collection already published in 1827 and 1839. Accordingly, the principal source for our edition was a printed copy of the earlier version with myriad changes in the composers hand.
Each of these pieces, including the famous Harmonies du soir and Mazeppa, bears its own title and has entered the concert repertoire less as an tude than as a tone-poem with its own distinctive flavour. 132 pages.
Song Titles Include:
AMEB:
Piano / Associate / List C
Piano / Licentiate / List C
The most famous piano virtuoso of the nineteenth century is regarded as the most influential artist and composer (with Berlioz, Wagner) of the so-called New German School. His immense musical oeuvre comprises, above all else, works for solo piano, including numerous transcriptions; he also devised the symphonic poem. Important, too, are his sacred and secular choral works and songs.
