Franz Liszt’s influence on the 19th century was overwhelming and through his numerous stu- dents, his strong musical presence influenced piano playing into the 20th century. He developed piano playing not only through his own compositions, but also through his teaching. His compo- sitions influenced many other composers. Additionally, Liszt helped promote the works of many composers during his years as a touring virtuoso. Later, in his position as head of the Weimar orchestra and opera house, he was an important influence on contemporary tastes, tirelessly pro- moting the works of his contemporaries. In his later years, Liszt did his best to promote the works of the newer Russian school of composers, including Borodin and Mussorgsky. Numerous other composers – Grieg, Smetana, Glazunov, and of course, Wagner, have copiously written about the value they placed on Liszt’s moral encouragement as an important aid in their careers. As one of Liszt’s most illustrious students, Moritz Rosenthal (1862-1946) once wrote, “When one was with Liszt, one felt the power of his overwhelming personality...” Franz Liszt (1811-1886) was a grateful subject for biographers, factual and fictional. He pos- sessed every feature of a romantic personage, as we of the 21st century are apt to portray the great personalities of the 19th century. He had a brilliant beginning as a child prodigy; he was kissed on his brow by Beethoven and studied with Beethoven’s greatest student, Carl Czerny; as a youth he was the prince of pianists and the leading artistic figure in European capitals at the time when Europeans were, according to our dearest beliefs, joyous and preoccupied with glamor rather than work or war; he wore flowing hair and had a wild appearance about him; he loved women, and women loved him; and in his middle age, became an Abbé, as some sinners do in romantic novels. Liszt wrote music with expressive and meaningful titles, often with a poem for an epigraph; and he was unquestionably, with Wagner, the co-author of the “music of the future,” so designated by the despairing contemporaries for its quality of hugeness of design and grandiloquence of idiom. As a pianist, Liszt was unique (in the correct use of the word). According to Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), “Liszt possesses a degree of velocity and complete independence of finger, and a thoroughly musical feeling, which cannot be equalled. In a word, I have heard no performer whose – 5 – musical perceptions extend to the very tips of his fingers and emanate directly from them as Liszt’s do.” What he was able to do as a pianist-interpreter, Liszt was able to do even better as a com- poser. The hundreds of scores he wrote illustrated an astonishing command of the keyboard and an even more extraor- dinary musical mind. Not only did Liszt compose numerous original works, but he was throughout his life continually compelled to transcribe his own and other composers’ music for the piano. How Liszt managed to find the time to accomplish all this can only be explained by an acceptance that a genius works in mysterious ways. Liszt’s Après une lecture du Dante (Fantasia quasi Sonata), which is often simply entitled “Dante Sonata,” is the final work in the second book (Italy) of his Années de Pèlerinage (“Years of Pilgrimage”). According to Liszt biogra- Earl Wild with Lord Londonderry at the Londonderry Family Estate, 1986 pher and cataloguer, Humphrey Searle, “The Dante Sonata [Disc 1, 1 ] has no programme as such, but in it Liszt clearly expressed his reactions to the “strange tongues, horrible cries, words of pain, tones of anger” which Dante described in his Inferno.” Liszt first sketched his Après une lecture du Dante (“After reading Dante”) in 1839, completing the work some ten years later. The “reading” refers to Victor Hugo’s poems inspired by Dante’s “Divine Comedy.” So impressed with Dante’s writings was Liszt, that he wrote to Hector Berlioz: “Dante will perhaps one day find musical expression in the Beethoven of the future.” Ingeniously based on three basic ideas, the Dante Sonata begins with jar- ring, descending-octave tritones (known as diabolus in musica). Later on, we hear these tritones in less-dissonant intervals as Liszt introduces the “Paradiso” tremolos. The second basic idea heard in the work is a grim, chromatic descending figure played in groups of two repeated octaves in the – 6 – right hand that alternate with dark-colored chords in the left hand. For the final basic idea, Liszt abandons the stormy D minor in favor of F-sharp major, counterbalancing, so-to-speak, Hell with the love that is evoked. The rising figures bring us to the end and “Paradiso.” Liszt’s Three Petrarch Sonnets (S161/R10b) began life as songs composed in 1838-9 before their magical transcription into ardent piano pieces in 1858 and inclusion in the second book (Italy) of his Années de Pèlerinage (“Years of Pilgrimage”). Based on Francesco Petrarca’s (1304-1374) emo- tional sonnet “Pace non trovo” [I find no peace] the Sonetto 47 del Petrarca [Disc 1, 2 ] is a tri- umph of Romantic contrasts (peace and war, hate and love, grief and laughter, and death and life). The Sonetto 104 del Petrarca [Disc 1, 3 ] is based on the sonnet “Benedetto sia ‘l giorno” [Blessed be the day], an ardent lyric written by Petrarch to his beloved Laura five-hundred years before Liszt’s time. The Sonetto 123 del Petrarca [Disc 1, 4 ] is based on the sonnet “I vidi in terra angelici costumi” [I beheld on earth angelic grace]. In this piece we hear Liszt and his impressions of Italy, Liszt and his love, and most of all Liszt and his pianism – emotional music with genuine poetic feeling. The years 1839-1847 are generally recognized as Liszt’s “period of transcendental execution,” during which time he gave well over a thousand concerts throughout most of Western Europe, Turkey, Poland and Russia. The First Year: (Suisse) of the three collections entitled “Années de Pelerinage” (Years of Pilgrimage) was begun in 1848 (the year following this highly active period), as the first flowerings of a more introspective approach to composition, moving gradually away from the wristbreaking pyrotechnics of previous compositions. The Second Year: (Italie) was com- pleted in 1858. Between 1867 and 1877 he completed his third set in the series, a more austere and impressionistic group of pieces, reflective of the mature musician. The third group was published in 1883 and four of the seven pieces are music of mourning or lamentation. Les jeux d’eaux à la Villa d’Este (Fountains of the Villa d’Este) [Disc 1, 5 ] is an impressionistic rendering of the fountains amidst gloomy cypresses as seen from Liszt’s quarters at the Villa d’Este. Liszt pref- aced the music with a fragment from the Gospel of St. John: “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him...” The Ballade No.2 in B minor (S171/R16) [Disc 1, 6 ] was composed in 1853.

  • Page 1 (1/31/20) Waltz in E-Flat Major, Op. 19 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN
    Page 1 (1/31/20) Waltz in E-flat major, Op. 19 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN (1810-1849) Composed in 1831. Chopin’s Waltz in E-flat major, Op. 18, his first published specimen of the genre and one of his most beloved, was composed in 1831, when he was living anxiously in Vienna, almost unknown as a composer and only slightly appreciated as a pianist. In 1834, he sold it to the Parisian publisher Pleyel to finance his trip with Ferdinand Hiller to the Lower Rhineland Music Festival at Aachen, where Hiller introduced him to his long-time friend Felix Mendelssohn. The piece was dedicated upon its publication to Mlle. Laura Horsford, one of two sisters Chopin then counted among his aristocratic pupils. (Sister Emma had received the dedication of the Variations on “Je vends des scapulaires” from Hérold’s Ludovic, Op. 12 the year before.) The Waltz in E-flat follows the characteristic Viennese form of a continuous series of sixteen- measure strains filled with both new and repeated melodies that are capped by a vigorous coda. Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN Composed 1831. In the Ballades, “Chopin reaches his full stature as the unapproachable genius of the pianoforte,” according to Arthur Hedley, “a master of rich and subtle harmony and, above all, a poet — one of those whose vision transcends the confines of nation and epoch, and whose mission it is to share with the world some of the beauty that is revealed to them alone.” Though the Ballades came to form a nicely cohesive set unified by their temporal scale, structural fluidity and supranational idiom, Chopin composed them over a period of more than a decade.

  • Music in Dante's Poetry Anett Julianna Kádár Faculty of Arts and Letters University of Debrecen 2016
    SUMMARY OF DOCTORAL DISSERTATION Musica dantesca – Music in Dante’s poetry Anett Julianna Kádár Supervisor: Dr. habil Imre Madarász Faculty of Arts and Letters University of Debrecen 2016 I. SETTING THE AIMS, PRESENTING THE TOPIC The main aim of my dissertation was to create a thematic, comprehensive writing of the connections between Dante Alighieri and music. Regarding the interdisciplinary aspect of the subject my research included music literature, music theory, literature theory, comparative literature, and medieval studies. I analyzed in details the components connected to music in the Divine Comedy. The analysis was published in three subsection corresponding to the structure of Dante’s writing. The results of above mentioned analysis, the correspondences and emphasized elements were communicated in separate subsections. I examined the relationships of musical components in the Divine Comedy and described the music theory background of Dante and his poem. Like the music is presented in Dante’s writings, Dante’s words were presented in the next era’s music literature as an inspiration for musical works. Dante’s musical reception is such an expansive topic that it could be the target of many doctoral thesis. In my work I gave a synthetic description of the musical reception of the medieval poet starting from his contemporary to nowadays and I demonstrated the musical-literal connection points through Franz Liszt’s exemplar. The bibliography already talked about the songs quoted in the Divine Comedy, so I did not describe this topic elaborately. I described the systematic arrangement of these musical quotations and observed the musical elements which are not sounding in the dramaturgy of Dante, but they still have a significant role in the analysis.

Karabits's performance of this large work is several minutes longer than average, without dragging in the least: he gets the moody quality that is lost in splashier readings. A very strong Liszt release, with fine sound from the Congress Centrum Neue Weimarhalle. Full review text restrained for copyright reasons. American Record Guide August 2020 ( - 2020.08.01) In 1847 while touring as a pianist in Kiev, Liszt met Polish Princess Carolyne of Sayn–Wittgenstein, who became his companion for the rest of his life. In 1848 he accepted a conducting job in Weimar, where he and the Princess lived until 1861. Carolyne persuaded him to trade performing for composing, and those years, among his most prolific, produced the three works on this program. As a young man, Liszt was already an admirer of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. In the 1840s he considered writing a chorus and orchestra work drawn from it, accompanied by a slideshow of scenes from the poem by German artist Bonaventura Genelli, but nothing came of it. In 1849, he composed Apres une Lecture du Dante: Fantasia quasi Sonata (the Dante Sonata) for piano. In 1855 he began the Dante Symphony based on the 'Inferno' and 'Purgatorio' sections of Dante's poem. He completed it in 1857. The work begins with Virgil and Dante descending into the Inferno. Liszt supplied no text save for the Magnificat, but he included a few lines from the poem under score staves to guide the conductor's interpretation, most notably the opening brass motifs to the rhythms of the text over the Gates of Hell.

  • Liszt and Christus: Reactionary Romanticism
    LISZT AND CHRISTUS: REACTIONARY ROMANTICISM A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Robert Pegg May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Maurice Wright, Advisory Chair, Music Studies Dr. Michael Klein, Music Studies Dr. Paul Rardin, Choral Activities Dr. Christine Anderson, Voice and Opera, external member © Copyright 2020 by Robert Pegg All Rights Reserved € ii ABSTRACT This dissertation seeks to examine the historical context of Franz Lizt’s oratorio Christus and explore its obscurity. Chapter 1 makes note of the much greater familiarity of other choral works of the Romantic period, and observes critics’ and scholars’ recognition (or lack thereof) of Liszt’s religiosity. Chapter 2 discusses Liszt’s father Adam, his religious and musical experiences, and his influence on the young Franz. Chapter 3 explores Liszt’s early adulthood in Paris, particularly with respect to his intellectual growth. Special attention is given to François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand and the Abbé Félicité de Lamennais, and the latter’s papal condemnation. After Chapter 4 briefly chronicles Liszt’s artistic achievements in Weimar and its ramifications for the rest of his work, Chapter 5 examines theological trends in the nineteenth century, as exemplified by David Friedrich Strauss, and the Catholic Church’s rejection of such novelties. The writings of Charles Rosen aid in decribing the possible musical ramifications of modern theology. Chapter 6 takes stock of the movements for renewal in Catholic music, especially the work of Prosper Gueranger and his fellow Benedictine monks of Solesmes, France, and of the Society of Saint Cecilia in Germany.

It is in their transformation of folk or popular music, literary texts, music by other composers, or even their own music, that composers often reveal their personalities. For some, transformation is subconsciously directed, while for others, the choice of material and the way it is re-created, can be a deliberate process that offers an insight into the composer as they wished to be seen. ~ The Sonata in D major, K.284, is one of eighteen piano sonatas composed throughout Mozart’s lifetime. This is an earlier effort, composed in 1775 for the Baron von Dürnitz, and in its brilliance, length and scale of conception, would have served as an ideal vehicle for Mozart’s own prodigious keyboard skill and growing compositional prowess. The buoyant opening movement evokes symphonic sonorities, and in its classical sonata form, the idea of transformation is already present, with the development of expository material, which is then recapitulated in the tonic key.
