🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Apparitions No.1 S.155-1

The first piece in Liszt’s collection Apparitions. Its floating sonorities, not anchored firmly to a clear tonality, and quietly shifting harmonies create a dreamlike sense of fantasy. Rather than emphasizing a large dramatic development, the piece invites the listener to savor the resonance of the sounds and the changes in color, with the melody seeming to appear and recede. In performance, it is important not to hurry the music and to keep the resonance created by the pedal from becoming blurred. Carefully balance the inner voices and chords, listen through to the end of each sound, and preserve the serene atmosphere with delicate dynamics and a soft touch to bring out the work’s appeal.
