TRANTEC

Series II of the New Liszt Edition contains Liszt’s free arrangements and transcriptions for the piano. Apart from one Beethoven transcription, Volume 7 contains only piano pieces based on works by Schubert. Throughout his life, Liszt respected and admired the art of Schubert, and was partial to arranging his compositions for piano, even when the Austrian composer was hardly known. This volume includes the arrangements made in 1844-46, the majority of which are piano versions of songs, and the three marches closing the volume are based on four-hand works by Schubert. It should be noted that the song Lebe wohl! was misleadingly published under Schubert’s name several times, and the composer was in actual fact not Schubert but August Heinrich von Weyrauch. Liszt could not have known this when he composed it, so this too features in the cycle 6 mélodies célebres de François Schubert.

Series II of the New Liszt Edition contains Liszt’s free arrangements and transcriptions for the piano. Volume 14 includes pieces based on works by Händel, Ferdinand Huber, Verdi, Dargomyzhsky, Eduard Lassen, Saint-Saens, Massenet, and Géza Zichy. After losing his right arm in an accident, with his friend Liszt’s encouragement Count Géza Zichy published his studies for the left hand, and he dedicated them to the great composer. In a letter of thanks Liszt expressed his gratitude, and attached his version of the studies, arranged for two hands. Another piece with a Hungarian connection is the work Revive Szegedin!. The basis for this was a piece by Massenet that was itself an arrangement: Massenet orchestrated a march by the amateur composer Ignác Frank Szabadi for a concert in Paris in aid of the victims of the flood in the town of Szeged in 1879. Liszt was one of the people invited to the concert, and he responded with the manuscript of Revive Szegedin!. The extent to which Liszt followed the structure of the original works and how much of his own material he added varies from piece to piece.
