🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Lorelei (Liszt) As-Dur S.532/R.209

Liszt’s arrangement of his own song for solo piano entrusts the singing melody to the right hand, while the harmony and flowing accompaniment in the left hand support its expressive character. The piece is best shaped as a gradual rise in tension from a quiet, speech-like opening to the rich sonority of the melodic climax, followed by a close that leaves a lingering afterglow. Careful attention to phrasing and inner voices is essential; the accompaniment should not become too heavy, and the pedal should connect the sonorities while preserving the changing shades of each passage. The shifting harmonies and overlapping voices also deserve close attention.
