🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Ernani – Paraphrase de concert (Verdi) Es-Dur S.432/R.265

This concert paraphrase takes memorable melodies from Verdi’s opera Ernani and reworks them through Liszt’s brilliant piano writing. From the presentation of its songful themes, the music expands through ornamentation, rapid passagework, and richly sonorous chords, leading toward a dramatic climax. A central attraction is the way vocal melodies and virtuosic development alternate, allowing the drama of the original to be portrayed on a single piano. In performance, the melody should remain clearly projected while the accompaniment and ornamental notes are carefully organized, preserving a sense of pulse within the free brilliance. Awareness of the tension and release leading toward the major climax lends the interpretation greater conviction.
