Descripción
With the compositions of his two piano concertos, Franz Liszt revolutionized the concept of the classical concerto by investing the form with the principal features not of the classical sonata but of the symphonic poem . The result in both works -a one-movement piece generated entirely by the transformation of a single theme- was extraordinary for Liszt's time and influential beyond his century. Both piano concertos have remained vastly popular, heard frequentily in concerts worldwide and in many recordings by all major pianists. They are brilliant works, full of Romantic gesture and keyboard flash and fire.
This new addition to Dover's popular series of piano concertos with orchestral reduction for second piano (the standard format for learning and practicing all concertos) brings together Liszt'z Concerto No.1 in E-flat and concerto No.2 in A in one convenient, low-priced edition. Concert pianists and piano students will want to ahve this attractive volume, reproduced for authoritative C.F. Peters edition.
