🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： 12 lieder (Schubert) S.558 – Ave Maria

This arrangement of a Schubert song allows the vocal melody to resonate richly on the piano. The right-hand line should be played with a singing, vocal quality, shaped through smooth legato and natural phrasing. The left hand and inner voices support the melody without becoming heavy, while the changing harmonies should be heard with care. The piece unfolds in a calm, flowing manner, and its points of interest include moments of expansion and changes in sonority. Use the pedal to sustain the resonance while avoiding muddiness, and shape the breathing and delicate dynamics toward each melodic climax. In this way, the devotional atmosphere of the original and the distinctive sonority of the piano transcription can both come to life.
