Anyone has a copy of Sept Variations brillantes sur un thème de Rossini from Ermione, S149 Op. 2 by Liszt?

Liszt, Op.2? New to me, and in typical early Liszt virtuoso style. What a wonderful little lark. Much fun to hear and play.
Thank for posting this, Alfred.

*So You Want to Finger a Fugato**?

*(to destroy the last bit of sophistication or humour ):

cf. Glenn Gould:
„So You Want to Write a Fugue?"

**from Sonata in b minor (the only Sonata Maestro Liszt has written - as far as I know)

1) Eugen d'Albert (Ed. Bote & G. Bock, Berlin 1917)

So You Want to Finger a Fugato?

2) Max Pauer (Collection Litolff, Braunschweig, probably 192?)

Liszt sure did put a lot of stuff in his sonata.....and I'd completely forgotten about this little fugetta, the sonata not being one of my favorite LIszt works, but I know a lot of people like it.

Funny you should mention Gould "So you want to write a Fugue?"...... I remember when this first came out in the US. Quite a pedantic little piece.

Well, there you have it folks! Massed interest in Liszt's little fugue from diverse editors. Looking at the manuscript one can see Liszt actually fingered many passages.

I'm seeing a few, but not many differences in these editions, but editorial additions are clear.
