🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Grand Concert Waltz “Ball at Berne” S.209 R.32a

Liszt’s “Ball at Berne” is a concert work that combines the supple triple meter of the waltz with brilliant virtuosity. Sparkling ornaments and flowing passagework unfold above the buoyant rhythm, creating both the elegance of a dance and a sense of festive exhilaration. As the character of the musical scenes shifts, it is important to bring out the melody while keeping the pulse of the accompaniment steady. Avoiding an overly hurried tempo, preserving the characteristic sway of the waltz, and carefully controlling dynamic contrasts and pedal clarity will convey not only the brilliance of the technique but also the refined sense of dance.
