🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Ich bin nicht allein verlassen S.453

Liszt’s arrangement for solo piano of Weber’s song “Ich bin nicht allein verlassen.” Centered on a songful melody, the work lets changes in the accompaniment figures and harmony gently transform its expression. Listening for the contrast between the appearances of the melody and shifts in the accompaniment makes the overall flow easier to follow. The principal melody should remain clear, while the inner voices and bass are kept discreet and the breathing of each phrase carefully preserved. Decorative passages are best treated not as displays of virtuosity, but as support for the nuances of the voice, allowing both the delicate emotion and the piano’s distinctive sonority to emerge.
