Années De Pèlerinage
''Années de pèlerinage'' (French for ''Years of Pilgrimage'') ( S.160, S.161, S.162, S.163) is a set of three suites for solo piano by Franz Liszt. Much of it derives from his earlier work, ''Album d'un voyageur'', his first major published piano cycle, which was composed between 1835 and 1838 and published in 1842. ''Années de pèlerinage'' is widely considered as the masterwork and summation of Liszt's musical style. The third volume is notable as an example of his later style. Composed well after the first two volumes, it displays less virtuosity and more harmonic experimentation. The title ''Années de pèlerinage'' refers to Goethe's famous novel of self-realization, ''Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship'', and especially its sequel ''Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years'' (whose original title ''Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre'' meant ''Years of Wandering'' or ''Years of Pilgrimage'', the latter being used for its first French translation). Liszt clearly places these compositio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Franz Liszt's Treatments Of The Works Of Other Composers
This article lists the various treatments given by Franz Liszt to the works of almost 100 other composers. These treatments included transcriptions for other instruments (predominantly solo piano), arrangements, orchestrations, ''fantaisies'', ''reminiscences'', ''paraphrases'', ''illustrations'', variations, and editions. Liszt also extensively treated his own works in a similar manner, but these are not tallied here—neither are his treatments of national (or "folk") melodies whose composers are unknown, nor other anonymous works. In most cases, Liszt arranged only one or two pieces by a composer, but he delved more deeply into the works of Bach, Beethoven, Berlioz, Donizetti, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Mozart, Rossini, Schubert, Verdi, Wagner, and Weber. The earliest-born composer whose works Liszt dealt with was Orlande de Lassus (born ). Jacques Arcadelt was born earlier (), but Liszt's treatment was not of Arcadelt's original work, rather of a setting by Pierre-Louis Dietsch ...

Impromptus (Schubert)
Franz Schubert's Impromptus are a series of eight pieces for solo piano composed in 1827. They were published in two sets of four impromptus each: the first two pieces in the first set were published in the composer's lifetime as Op. 90; the second set was published posthumously as Op. 142 in 1839 (with a dedication added by the publisher to Franz Liszt). The third and fourth pieces in the first set were published in 1857 (although the third piece was printed by the publisher in G major, instead of G as Schubert had written it, and remained available only in this key for many years). The two sets are now catalogued as D. 899 and D. 935 respectively. They are considered to be among the most important examples of this popular early 19th-century genre. Three other unnamed piano compositions (D. 946), written in May 1828, a few months before the composer's death, are known as both "Impromptus" and ''Klavierstücke'' ("piano pieces"). The Impromptus are often considered companion piec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Franz Liszt
Franz Liszt, in modern usage ''Liszt Ferenc'' . Liszt's Hungarian passport spelled his given name as "Ferencz". An orthographic reform of the Hungarian language in 1922 (which was 36 years after Liszt's death) changed the letter "cz" to simply "c" in all words except surnames; this has led to Liszt's given name being rendered in modern Hungarian usage as "Ferenc". From 1859 to 1867 he was officially Franz Ritter von Liszt; he was created a ''Ritter'' (knight) by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, Francis Joseph I in 1859, but never used this title of nobility in public. The title was necessary to marry the Princess Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein without her losing her privileges, but after the marriage fell through, Liszt transferred the title to his uncle Eduard in 1867. Eduard's son was Franz von Liszt., group=n (22 October 1811 – 31 July 1886) was a Hungarian composer, pianist and teacher of the Romantic music, Romantic period.
