Vielen herzlichen Dank für die erste Serie!

As far as I know this is the complete Liszt-Pädagogium, Serie I. to V. (Currently a reprint is commercially available with a foreword by Alfred Brendel, 96 pages).

Does anyone have any of the transcriptions made by August Stradal from the oratorio "Die Legende von der heiligen Elisabeth" .
He transcribed Der Sturm and Das Rosenwunder, I am particularly looking for Das Rosenwunder, but a good healthy storm could be a great release valve when the occasion demands, and I won't say no if someone posts it.

Brian, I have hard copies of both here, exclamation mark, as it were.

Hummmm... I have a general comment/question, I have found many people don't care for/understand Papa's music. I have always felt that it was because of the tawdry way most pianist approach his music. Case and point the two piano concerti, taken at appalling speed and a total disregard for the majestic musical content, when played CORRECTLY, no concerto approaches their greatness..... but, I must admit, would modern conductors allow the pianist to use the correct tempos, NOT bombastically pound the piano at breakneck speed... hummmmm.... then again how many pianist of today have the grand warmth of tone Papa's music demands. They seem content to fly through the music and say..." gee I played that faster than anyone else... what a good boy am I"... Oberon

PS.. if anyone wants to hear Papa's vocal music... I strongly suggest the magnificent recordings made by Daniela Bloem/Hellandhullandfaxittome...... musically superior

no concerto approaches their greatness

Regardless of what speed it's played at, is his Piano Concerto No1 really that good?

I'm a huge fan of Liszt, but to me this work seems rather uneven in terms of the
quality of its thematic material, and the last movement lasts barely two minutes,
which seems far too short.

My favourite work for piano and orchestra by Liszt is his fantastic Totentanz.

Since IMSLP has completed series 1 of the neue liszt ausgabe (original works) -credits to piupianissimo, I'm going to post some of the series 2 version of the transcriptions for solo piano(I'm not sure it will be on IMSLP someday),and something I need to emphasized is those scores are online resources, not my scans.Start with Auber..

Hello all,

I am having some trouble finding the original ("first version") of Liszt's Ave Maria, which has S. 557d as its catalog number. If anyone could share it or direct me to it, it would be much appreciated! Thank you as always!

You can try to ask Leslie Howard, although he may be very busy.
