Liszt - Piano Works Free Arrangements IV II/4

Ιn addition to two large sets of pieces: the Soirées italiennes based on secular songs (Mercadante and Gaeatano Donizetti), and the Konzerttranskriptionen über 10 geistliche Lieder (Beethoven and Schubert - the last of which incidentally being based on a choral piece by Schubert), the volume includes an arrangement of a romanesca melody from c. 1833. There are also two versions of the transcription of Beethoven's song Adelaide, and the Grand fantaisie de concert based on themes from Bellini's opera La sonnambula. In customary fashion, the edition is available in two versions: blue hard clothbound and soft paper bound. A detailed description of the sources and the critical commentary are in the clothbound edition. Both versions are illustrated with facsimiles of Liszt's original manuscripts.
