🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Untitled in E-Dur S.242-16

One of the pieces in a collection based on Hungarian national melodies, this work reveals the appeal of a memorable melodic outline alongside the brilliant expansiveness of Liszt’s piano writing. As it is untitled, it is not bound to a particular narrative; instead, the performer should follow the progression from the presentation of the melody toward ornamentation and changes of register, while maintaining a sense of overall breath. The main melody should be brought clearly to the foreground of the accompaniment, and small figurations should not be rushed. Attention to the weight of the chords and the direction of each phrase helps bring out the contrast between rustic simplicity and virtuosic brilliance.
