Convenient printing of young LISZT (nms):

Schubert-Liszt Melodies hongroises op.54 cah.2.pdf

I must confess my ignorance of many of Liszt's works, so this is a new discovery for me. The connection of Schubert to supposedly Hungarian melodies is something else new to me. Fascinating!

I thought "D" (Deutsch) listings were the standard catalog for Schubert and "S" or "S/G" (Searle/Grove) for Liszt, but was surprised to learn that earlier in his career, Liszt did you opus numbers, but we rarely see these now--in fact this being designated as Op.54 doesn't even appear on this score. Guess I need to dig out my LIszt biographies for clarification on this.

Playing through these transcriptions with gusto was much fun until I encountered the octave glissando's on p.13, then OUCH! There certainly are some technical challenges to be met here.

Thanks for posting this, Alfred.

Thank you for feedback!

The opus number refers to:

Schubert Divertissement à la hongroise op. 54 for 4 hands

Thanks, Alfred!

This piece, "Divertissement a la hongroise" is Op.54 or D.818 and can be found here:

All this about Schubert opus numbers just when I had the Deutsch numbers in my head! It is quite a nice duet. I recorded the secondo part via MIDI and played the primo part with it on playback. Nice having a piano that can do that.

But Liszt turns this into quite a different animal.

Liking the XXL much better. Quite a remarkable drawing and in profile making it more unusual.
