Franz Liszt ： Buch der Lieder Am Rhein S.531 R.209

This arrangement transfers Liszt’s song world to solo piano, centering on long-breathed phrases suggestive of a vocal melody and harmonic accompaniment that supports it. A key point of interest is the way the music unfolds through exchanges between melody and accompaniment, as well as changes in register and sonority. In performance, shape the melody smoothly with a vocal sense of breath, while carefully controlling the dynamics so that the accompaniment does not come to the fore. Use the pedal to enrich the sound, taking care not to blur changes of harmony.
