🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Années de pèlerinage troisième année Les jeux d’eau à la Villa d’Este S.163/R.10

Delicate arpeggios suggestive of shimmering water and flowing currents support the piece throughout, while a singing melody emerging from them and changes in tone color resembling shifting light leave a vivid impression. Fluid passages alternate with more tranquil, lyrical moments, leading through sections of increasing sonic density toward a transparent afterglow. In performance, it is important not merely to play the rapid figures evenly, but to keep the melody clearly audible to the listener. The pedal should enrich the resonance without allowing it to become blurred, changing carefully with the harmony. Shaping the gradations of dynamics and the direction of each phrase can bring out the work’s delicate charm and sense of flowing water.
