Beschreibung
Supplementary Volume 16 of the New Liszt Edition contains free arrangements
and technical exercises. In the first section can be found early versions of
three arrangements. The first consists of the first and intermediary versions
of a transcription of Die Rose, a song Schubert composed to a poem by
Schlegel. The arrangement of the second movement of Berlioz's Harold Symphony
also draws on literary inspiration: Lord Byron's (1788-1824) narrative poem
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-18) was a literary experience Liszt shared
with Berlioz. The fantasy on themes from Bellini's opera La sonnambula [The
Sleepwalker] (here the first version of 1842, and the second version dating
from the following decade are given) is important in music history because it
was while he worked on this (and other operatic fantasies) that Liszt
developed a new concept of the form, which took shape in more complex and
more concentrated fantasies than before. Particularly interesting material
can be found in the appendix. In addition to sketches and drafts for
arrangements of Spanish themes, there are three sources published here for
the first time, which shed light on technical aspects of Liszt's piano
teaching. These are three sets of exercises: the first written by Liszt
himself for Valérie Boissier in 1832, the second a copy in an unidentified
hand from the same period or slightly later, and finally the third which was
noted down in 1871 by Henri Maréchal in Rome based on the composer's
dictation. This latest volume of the New Liszt Edition includes a detailed
preface in German, English, and Hungarian containing new research findings,
together with five manuscript facsimiles and critical notes. Simultaneously
with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a practical paperback version has been
published, the contents of which are identical to those of the hardcover
edition, minus the inclusion of critical notes.
