Annees De Pklerinage Vol. 2 LISZT Annees de Pklerinage (Years of Pilgrimage) Vol. 2 (Second Year: Italy) Jeno Jando, Piano Franz Liszt (181 1 - 1886) Annees de Pelerinage (Years of Pilgrimage) Vol. 2 Deuxieme annee: ltalie (Second ~eer:Italy) Franz Liszt was born in 1811 at Raiding (Doborjan) near Odenburg (Sopron) in a German-speaking region of Hunga~y. His father, Adam Liszt, was a steward in the employment of Haydn's former patrons, the Esterhazy Princes, and an amateur cellist. The boy showed,early musical talent, exhibited in a public concert at Odenburg in 1820, followed by a concert in Pressburg (the modern Slovak capital Bratislava). This second appearance brouaht sufficient support from members of the ~ungariannobility io'allow the fami6 to move to Vienna, where Liszt took piano lessons from Czernv and composition lessons from the old Court composer Antonio Salieri, who had taught' Beethoven and Schubert. In 1822 the Liszts moved to Paris, where, as a foreigner, he was refused admission to the Conservatoire by Cherubini, but was able to embark on a career as a virtuoso, displaying his gifts as a pianist and as a composer. On the death of his father in 1827 Liszt was joined again by his mother in Paris, where he began to teach the piano and to interest himself in the newest literary trends of the day. The appearance of Paganini there in 1831 suggested new possibilities of virtuosity as a pianist, later exemplified in his Paganini Studies. A liaison with a married woman, the Comtesse Marie dlAgoult, a blue-stocking on the model of their friend the novelist George Sand (Aurore Dudevant), and the subsequent birth of three children, involved Liszt in years of travel, from 1839 once more as a virtuoso pianist, a r6le in which he came to enjoy the wildest adulation of audiences. In 1844 Liszt finally broke with Marie d'Agoult, who latertook her own literary revenge on her lover. Connection with the small Grand Duchy of Weimar led in 1848 to his withdrawal from public concerts and his establishment there as Director of Music, accompanied by a young Polish heiress, Princess Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, the estranged wife of a Russian nobleman and a woman of literary and theological propensities. Liszt now turned his attention to new forms of composition, particularly to symphonic poems, in which he attempted to translate into musical terms works of literature. Catholic marriage to Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein had proved impossible, but application to the Vatican offered some hope. when. in 1861. Liszt travelled to join her in Rome. The marriage did not take place'and the couple continued to live separately in Rome, starting a period of his life that Liszt later described as une vie trifurquee (a three-pronged life), as he divided his time between his comfortable monastic residence in Rome, his visits to Weimar, where he held court as a master of the keyboard and a prophet of the new music, and his appearance in Hungary, where he was now hailed as a national hero. Liszt's illegitimate daughter Cosima had married the pianist and conductor Hans von Bulow, whom she later deserted for Wagner, already the father of two of her children. His own final years were as busy as ever, and in 1886 he gave concerts in Budapest, Paris, Antwerp and London. He died in Bayreuth during the Wagner Festival, now controlled by his daughter Cosima, to whom his appearance there seems to have been less than welcome. Liszt's earlier years of wandering, during the course of his relationship with Marie d'Agoult, had given rise to two collections of piano pieces, described, in terms hardlv com~limentarvto his mistress, as vears of oilarimaae. The second set in Italy, inciudes three pieces inspired by soh&ts oq~etrarch and ~reviouslv~ublished. The whole collection, composed between 1837 and 1849, was fiiaily published in 1858. Sposalizio, when in 1839, with its two combined themes, is based on Raphael's painting Lo sposalizio della Vergine in the Vatican. It is succeeded by II pensieroso, The Thinker, suggested by Michelangelo's sculptured tomb of Giuliano de Medici in the Medici chapel in Florence and carrying a quotation from the artist's words expressing thankfulness that, made of stone, he may sleep, while the world remains full of injustice. The tune that dominates the Canzonetta of Salvator Rosa, is by Bononcini, but the inspiration of the piece is a reminder of the popularity of the seventeenth century Italian painter, whose work had a particular wild appeal to the romantic imagination, depicting the world of Auber's Fra Diavolo. The words of the Canzonetta are written in the score, Vado ben spesso cangiando loco 1 ma non so mai cangiar desio. The three Petrarch sonnets are piano versions of settings of the poems, Benedetto sia 'I giorno, e 'I mese, e I 'anno, Blessed be the day, the month and the year, Pace non trovo, e non da far guerra, War I cannot wage, yet 1 find no peace, and I' vidi in terra angelici costuml I saw on earth angelic grace. After Reading c ante turns to another of the grea\ Italian literary figures, whose Divine Comedy was to be subject to Lisztian metamorphosis in a later symphonic poem. The title of the piece is taken from a poem by Victor Hugo, and the sonata movement itself dwells on the Inferno, touching the sad fate of Paolo and Francesca, damned for their forbidden love. The last three pieces, Venice and Naples, are more overtly popular in inspiration, a barcarolle with a melody borrowed from Rossini's Otello, a Canzone based on Peruchini and a final vigorous Neapolitan Tarantella, with a melody published in a collection by the Neapolitan Guglielmo Cottrau. ~en6'Jandowas born at PBcs, in south Hungary, in 1952. He started to learn the piano when he was seven and later studied at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music under Katalin Nemes and Pal Kadosa, becoming assistant to the latter on his graduation in 1974. Jando has won a number of piano competitions in Hungary and abroad, including first prize in the 1973 Hungarian Piano Concours and a first prize in the chamber music category at the Sydney International Piano Competition in 1977. In addition to his many appearances in Hungary, he has played widely abroad in Eastern and Western Europe, in Canada and in Japan. He has recorded all Mozart's piano concertos and sonatas for Naxos. Other recordings for the Naxos label include the concertos of Grieg and Schumann as well as Rachmaninov's second Concerto and Paganini Rhapsody and the complete piano sonatas of Beethoven.

INTRODUCTION Regardless of many styles, ideas, and trends in the history of music, which have existed so far, only some composers and performers have been known world-wide and will continue to be recognized by future generations. Franz Liszt is one of them and one of the representative musicians, both as a pianist and a composer, of the Romantic Era. Liszt was a true romantic. Liszt's music resembles his romantic and dramatic life' and he was the most distinguished virtuoso pianist in the Romantic Era, as a composer, he left many virtuosic works, especially for piano solo. There is no doubt that hundreds of his piano compositions were written so that he could give performances by himself. Liszt was the incomparable virtuoso of his time and is still regarded as a legend. However, not all his compositions exhibit technically amazing or stunning showmanship as some critics would Claim about his music.

  • Hannah Rioux December 4, 2015 Music 220-02 Research/ Listening Paper
    Hannah Rioux December 4, 2015 Music 220-02 Research/ Listening Paper Franz Liszt and his Piano Sonata in B Minor S.178 have left a long lasting legacy on musical history. Throughout his life, Liszt shaped the ways of music significantly. In fact, many of his imprints on musical history still have an impact, today. Similarly, his piano composition, Piano Sonata in B Minor S.178, is still considered to be one of history’s great pieces, which gained my interest in not only this piece of work, but Liszt and his lasting impact, as well. After traveling through Europe and composing hundreds of musical works, Liszt’s listeners were not only intrigued by his music, but other big names in the musical world were, as well. Liszt managed to change the way that things were done musically several hundred years ago by influencing other musicians through his work, but he has also changed the way of musicians to this day. Hungarian composer Franz Liszt was born on October 22, 1811 in Doborján, Hungary (now Raiding Austria) to father, and musician, Adam Liszt and mother Anna Maria Läger, who was an amateur musician (LaVine). Franz’s father played multiple instruments and taught Franz to play the piano at a young age, which began his musical career. From very early on, Liszt excelled in music. He was considered to be a child prodigy by age 6, and then he began writing and composing music at the age of 8, and was performing in concerts at the early age of 9 (Franz Liszt Biography).

  • “Hungarian Identity” and the Music of Franz Liszt
    “Hungarian Identity” and the Music of Franz Liszt LEE, Shaw 1. Liszt in Germany Franz Liszt’s first visit to Weimar was actually in 1840, according to “Gästebuch des Goethehauses (1832-1842/1866-1911). GSA 150/Goethe-Nationalmuseum 200, S.96”.1 Having been appointed Court Conductor (Hofkapellmeister) in 1848 after the death of Johann Nepomuk Hummel, the previous Hofkapellmeister in Weimar who had died in 1837, Franz Liszt settled semi-permanently into Weimar for several reasons, quitting his travels in Europe as a great Virtuoso. (He settled into Rome in 1861. However gradually from the late 1860’s he lived moving mainly from Weimar to Budapest via Rome. It was the so-called “vie trifurquée” (life trifurcated).2) It was clear that he intended to worship the German greats, because he not only held the “Goethe-Festival” (1849), “Herder- Festival” (1850), and music festivals such as “Wagner-Week” (“Wagnerwoche”) and “Berlioz-week” in the context of “The New German School”, but also wrote writings such as “Goethe-Foundation” and “Tannhäuser and Lohengrin”, and works such as “Faust-Symphony” and the so-called “Goethe-March.”3 In addition, he donated a lot of money to the monuments of Beethoven as well as Goethe-Schiller. On one hand, he tried to identify himself with Western-Europe, since his adolescence in Paris. On the other hand, he saw himself as a non-Western-European, i.e. a Hungarian. One of Liszt’s best friends, Prince (Fürst) Felix Lichnowsky, was so conservative that he was murdered on 18 September, 1848 after being tortured.4 This incident was shocking enough to have a strong political influence on Liszt.5 Based upon this matter, Liszt came not to hesitate to occupy himself with political matters in Paris.

The first member of the family to appear in the parish register of Rajka (an agricultural town on the shores of the Danube) was his great-grandfather, Sebastian List (c. –). Up until the early twentieth century, almost all members of this German-speaking family lived in this region, inhabited by ethnic Germans, Magyars and Slovaks. Sebastian’s parents probably arrived in Hungary along with those hun- dreds of thousands of other families whose settlement was agreed on by leading Austrian and Hungarian politicians of the era. Following the century and a half (–) of Turkish occupation, and then an uprising against the Habsburg Empire by Ferenc Rákóczi II (–), the population of the country had been depleted. A slow growth had started after the peace treaty of Szatmár. The census only counted a population of .– million. The census ordered by Joseph II saw these figures double. Although the language and culture of this immigrant population of .–. million people was not Hungarian, these dissimilarities had not caused issues, since stratification resulted from social status and not ethnic- ity. Every inhabitant of the Kingdom of Hungary counted as a Hungarus, regardless of whether they considered themselves to be Magyar, German, Romanian, Slav or any other ethnicity.

  • Liszt, Thalberg, Heller, and the Practice of Nineteenth-Century Song Arrangement
    Liszt, Thalberg, Heller, and the Practice of Nineteenth-Century Song Arrangement A document submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2011 by Yoon Sun Song B.M., Kyung Won University, 1999 M.M., North Carolina School of the Arts, 2003 Committee Chair: Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This study explores the relationship between art song and its recomposition as a solo piano work by three nineteenth-century composers. While Franz Liszt is considered the most well-known arranger of art songs, other contemporaries excelled at the practice as well, such as Sigismond Thalberg and Stephen Heller. Though they lived in close proximity to one another, their arranging style shows significant variety, with each displaying different interpretations of their source material. Chapter 1 explains some of the most important differences between the techniques of paraphrase and transcription, with particular reference to works by Liszt. In Chapter 2, composers as arrangers in the nineteenth century are introduced with their biographical sketches and a survey of their arrangements. Analyzing song arrangements by three composers – Liszt, Thalberg, and Heller – comprises the largest part of the document. In Chapter 3, each composer’s compositional/arranging style is noted in detail, drawing from secondary sources as well as from some of their representative pieces. In the following chapter I compare different approaches to the same songs by pairing two composers at a time. A selected bibliography follows.
