🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： 12 lieder (Schubert) S.558 – Die junge Nonne

This is Liszt’s transcription for solo piano of a Schubert song. While placing the original vocal melody at the center, it transfers the accompanying motion and harmonic changes into the piano’s broad register, contrasting tense passages with calmer sections suggestive of prayer. The piece unfolds with a sense of changing scenes, and its highlights include moments when the melody emerges clearly and passages in which the texture swells dramatically. In performance, the right-hand melody should remain distinct, while the inner voices and bass are carefully balanced and the pedal should not blur the resonance. Even through the pronounced dynamic contrasts, it is important to maintain the overall flow and keep a vocal sense of breathing.
