🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Buch der Lieder, Book 2 Oh! Quand je dors S.536 R.210

Placed at the opening of Book 2 of Buch der Lieder, this arrangement portrays a vocal melody on the piano. A long-breathed melody in the right hand unfolds in dialogue with the accompaniment, centered largely in the left hand, while changes in melodic exchange and sonority bring shifts in expression. The music develops through changing episodes while retaining its songful character, with a sense of growing intensity and lingering resonance providing highlights toward the end. The melody should be allowed to sing fully, while the accompaniment remains subdued and supports the flow. Use the pedal in accordance with the harmonic changes so that the sound does not become blurred, and bring out the vocal quality by attending to the breathing of each phrase and to subtle dynamic changes.
