Bøger af Franz Liszt

The first of a ground-breaking series of thirteen works for orchestra, Liszt's Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne (What One Hears in the Mountains) drew its inspiration from a poem by Victor Hugo. Composed from 1848-54, it was given its premiere in Weimar in January of 1857 with the composer conducting the Weimar Hofkapelle. This new study score is a digitally-restored reissue of the score edited by Otto Taubmann in the first volume of the Liszt-Stiftung edition, published in 1908. Also included is an informative introduction by Liszt scholar Soren Afshar (Funper), a major contributor to the vast collection of Liszt pieces on IMSLP.

This fascinating two-volume selection, published in 1888, demonstrates importance to Wagner of the encouragement of Liszt - an established performer when Wagner was barely known and widely ridiculed, a musical mentor, an enthusiastic critic and eventually a father-in-law.
