🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Fantasie über Themen aus Mozarts Figaro und Don Giovanni S.697

This fantasy draws on motifs selected from Mozart’s opera Le nozze di Figaro, bringing out brilliant virtuosity and dramatic expression. Familiar melodies are transformed through ornamentation, wide-ranging passagework, and weighty chords, allowing the lightness of the original to intersect with the power of the piano. In the transitions that suggest changing scenes, the handoff of melodic material and contrasts of tempo and dynamics are especially striking. Rather than rushing through the virtuoso writing, performers should preserve the breath of the vocal lines, clarify the accompaniment and inner voices, and aim for a performance whose brilliance retains a sense of transparency.
