🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Schwanengesang (Schubert) S.560 R.245 – Am Meer

Liszt’s arrangement for solo piano of Schubert’s song “Am Meer.” The vocal melody is entrusted to the right hand, while added movement in the accompaniment and inner voices brings out both the intimacy of the song and the piano’s rich sonority. A highlight is the progression from the quiet opening, through a gradual expansion of register and dynamics, to an intense climax and a return to lingering resonance. The melody should be sustained in long, breathing phrases, with the accompaniment kept suitably restrained while the exchange between voices and changes in harmony are carefully brought out. Pedaling should support the resonance without blurring it, allowing the nuances of each passage to emerge clearly.
