🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： 7 Lieder (Mendelssohn) S.547/R.217 No.6 “Winter Song”

This is Liszt’s arrangement for solo piano of Mendelssohn’s song “Winter Song.” Centered on a songful melody, it adds movement in the accompanying voices and harmonic color, drawing out a richness distinct from the vocal original. The piece unfolds through exchanges in the melody and changes in the accompaniment; highlights include moments when the main line comes to the fore and the flow supported by the inner voices and bass. In performance, the right-hand melody should be shaped with natural breathing, while the accompaniment should not become too hard or heavy. Avoid rushing the smaller note groups and maintain direction through the ends of phrases to create a quiet afterglow suggestive of a winter scene.
