🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Feast of the Transfiguration S.188 R.74

This piano piece reflects Liszt’s spiritual engagement with a religious subject through writing that suggests quiet prayer and introspection rather than overt virtuosity. Long-breathed melodies and changing harmonies shape the music, with careful attention to the transitions from tranquil passages to moments when the sound expands. The melody should be brought clearly to the fore without allowing the inner voices or bass to become too heavy. Use the pedal to sustain the resonance while avoiding blur, and focus on the breathing of each phrase and its lingering aftersound to express the contrast between spiritual stillness and elevation.
