🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Réminiscences de Lucia di Lammermoor S.397

This arrangement by Liszt reworks memorable melodies from Donizetti’s opera Lucia di Lammermoor for solo piano. Long, vocal lines that suggest the breath of a singer are combined with brilliant writing that expands accompaniment figures across a wide register, moving from operatic lyricism to technical exhilaration. One of its chief attractions is the contrast between scenes and themes. Keep the melody from being obscured, while maintaining clarity in ornaments and rapid passages. Flexible tempo can enhance the expression, but it should not disrupt the overall flow. In chords and leaps, avoid forcing the sound; attention to the direction of the resonance and to excessive pedal blur will bring out the dramatic effect created by the interplay of song and pianistic virtuosity.
