  • Raff's Arragement for Piano of Bach's Cello Suites
    Six Sonatas for Cello by J.S.Bach arranged for the Pianoforte by JOACHIM RAFF WoO.30 Sonata No.1 in G major Sonate No.2 in D minor Sonate No.3 in C major Sonate No.4 in E flat major Sonate No.5 in C minor Sonate No.6 in D major Joachim Raff’s interest in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and the inspiration he drew from them is unmatched by any of the other major composers in the second half of the 19th century. One could speculate that Raff’s partiality for polyphonic writing originates from his studies of Bach’s works - the identification of “influenced by Bach” with “Polyphony” is a popular idea but is often questionable in terms of scientific correctness. Raff wrote numerous original compositions in polyphonic style and used musical forms of the baroque period. However, he also created a relatively large number of arrangements and transcriptions of works by Bach. Obviously, Bach’s music exerted a strong attraction on Raff that went further than plain admiration. Looking at Raff’s arrangements one can easily detect his particular interest in those works by Bach that could be supplemented by another composer. Upon these models Raff could fit his reverence for the musical past as well as exploit his never tiring interest in the technical aspects of the art of composition. One of the few statements we have by Raff about the basics of his art reveal his concept of how to attach supplements to works by Bach. Raff wrote about his orchestral arrangement of Bach’s Ciaconna in d minor for solo violin: "Everybody who has studied J.S.

In order to make a thorough and clear analysis of this relationship a structural/semiotic analysis has been developed as the analysis of best fit. Historically it has been fashionable to see Liszt's symphonic poems in terms of sonata form or a form only making sense in terms of the attached programme. Both of these ideas are critically examined in this analysis.

  • Current Review
    Current Review Franz Liszt: Künstlerfestzug - Tasso - Dante Symphony aud 97.760 EAN: 4022143977601 4022143977601 Fanfare (2020.05.01) Franz Liszt’s purely symphonic works, viewed in hindsight, have been more historically instructive than popular with the public. Only A Faust Symphony and Les préludes ever entered the general repertoire, and the latter is currently on life support, though, in fairness, this is probably due to over-familiarity from film, television, and Muzak at the supermarket. Although Liszt sowed the seeds of modern development in concert music, from tone poems to tone rows, his orchestral pieces sound melodramatically pianistic to most ears, constantly declaiming in octaves to stir up excitement and—kiss of death—rarely featuring inspired melodies. An exception is the “Gretchen” movement from his Faust Symphony, which Liszt realized was destined for popularity and published separately in various permutations. Liszt also had trouble with orchestration. Indeed, much of what we encounter was actually scored by Joachim Raff, though musicologists today easily demonstrate that Raff took too much credit as a collaborator, when in fact he simply orchestrated Liszt’s direct intentions. Scholars of the day twisted themselves into pretzels worrying whether Liszt’s 1857 Dante Symphony, omitting “Paradiso,” correctly represented Dante Alighieri’s 14th-century epic poem, “Divine Comedy.” Wagner, horrified at Liszt’s original decision to conclude the piece with a depiction—presumably loud and bombastic—of paradise, urged him to keep the music ethereal. Liszt took Wagner’s critique to heart, and the symphony finishes with a women’s chorus singing Mary’s hymn of praise from the Gospel according to St.

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).
