🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： 3 Marches S.426

This work comprises three marches by Schubert arranged by Liszt for solo piano. While preserving the original music’s clear forward motion and festive character, Liszt draws out brilliant pianistic effects through a broader range and a fuller sonority. A key attraction lies in discerning the differences in theme and atmosphere among the three pieces and connecting their changes of character naturally. In performance, it is important to maintain the rhythmic character of a march without allowing the melody to become buried. The accompanying chords and figurations should be kept from becoming too heavy; bringing out the contrasts in dynamics and the exchanges across the wide register allows a sense of lightness to emerge within the commanding sonority.
