Liszt Ferenc: Free Arrangements I
Liszt, Free Arrangements and Transcriptions for Piano Solo, Vol. 1
The Zwei ungarische Werbungstänze are based on works by László Fáy and János Bihari respectively. This piece, completed in 1828, can be considered Liszt's first Hungarian piece. In addition, the volume contains works based on opera themes (Rossini, Spontini, Auber, Halévy, and Méhul), and fantasies based on themes from Rossini's song cycle Soirées musicales, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique and the third movement of Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 2 ('La Campanella').
As customary, there are two versions of the publication: a blue clothbound edition and a grey softcover edition. The preface, which gives the most important information on the contents and technical details, is identical in both versions, but only the former includes an English description of the sources and a critical commentary. Both versions include facsimiles of pages from Liszt's original autograph manuscript.
