🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Symphonie fantastique S.470

This transcription transfers Berlioz’s symphony to a single piano, condensing the dramatic progression and rich variety of color across its five movements. The scenes move from quiet reverie to brilliant dancing, a pastoral episode, a tense march, and a bizarre festival, with the character of the themes and rhythms changing vividly along the way. In performance, it is important to remain aware of the original orchestral layering while clearly voicing the melodies so they do not disappear into the texture. The pedal should support the resonance without creating blur, and sudden changes in dynamics and tempo should retain both the narrative quality and forward momentum.
