🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Winterreise (Schubert) S.561 R.246 – Gute Nacht

This work is Liszt’s arrangement for solo piano of a song by Schubert, centered on a repeated accompaniment that suggests a quiet walk and a long-breathed melody. While preserving the song’s progression from verse to verse, it introduces changes in the relationship between melody and accompaniment, allowing the simplicity of the original to coexist with the sonorities of the piano. A key point of interest is the balance between the singing melodic line in the right hand and the restrained movement of the left hand, while bringing out the gradual shifts of the harmony, including the inner voices. The pedal should be used carefully so that the sound does not become blurred; maintaining the pulse of the walk and creating natural breaths at structural points are essential to the expression.
