🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Élégie No.1 S.196 R.76

Liszt’s Élégie No. 1 is a concentrated piano piece imbued with deep reflection and sorrow. Long-breathed melodies and overlapping harmonies carry the music forward while maintaining a quiet tension. Within a single unfolding span, the character changes, moving from restrained passages toward moments of more intense emotion. It is important to let the melody sing while keeping the accompaniment sonorities clear. Careful attention to rests and resonance, together with an unhurried sense of direction in each phrase, brings out the work’s inward character.
