🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Années de pèlerinage première année “Suisse” Au lac de Wallenstadt in A-Dur S.160/R.10-2

This lyrical miniature places a long-breathed melody over gently undulating broken-chord accompaniment. The delicate flow of notes, suggestive of movement across the surface of the water, remains constant as the melody begins quietly and gradually expands in register and sonority toward a climax. In the latter part, the tension eases and the music returns to the calm of the opening before closing with a lingering afterglow. In performance, it is essential to keep the accompaniment light and even while clearly shaping the melody’s tone and breathing. The pedal should support the resonance without allowing it to become blurred, and giving the phrases a natural sense of direction toward their peaks brings out both the stillness of the lake and the work’s inward lyricism.
