🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Muellergesaenge (Schubert) S.565 R.249 – Ungeduld

This work is Liszt’s arrangement of a Schubert song for solo piano, allowing the vocal melody and accompaniment to intertwine within a single instrument. The “impatience” suggested by the title is vividly conveyed through a forward-driving sense of motion and recurring figures. The piece unfolds around the phrasing of the song, with the return of the melody and the changing intensity providing key points of interest. In performance, it is important to bring the right-hand melody clearly to the fore while keeping the left-hand flow light, preserving a singing quality even amid the urgency. Connecting the delicate embellishments and expanding register naturally as waves of emotion reveals both the passion of the original and the brilliance of the piano arrangement.
