Hoboken 10 16 first issue.<br/><br/>Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 2 in A major was dedicated to pianist and composer Hans von Bronsart 1830-1913 who premiered the work on January 7 1857 in Weimar with Liszt conducting.<br/><br/>As with the first concerto the second has both its detractors and admirers - in this regard there is similarity to the concertos of Chopin. <br/><br/>"Like its predecessor the A major Concerto is a continuously unfolding 'cyclic' structure in which Liszt employs his 'metamorphosis of themes' technique to great advantage. Unlike the E flat major Concerto however it does not easily lend itself to a division into separate movements; neither does it conform to the opposite kind of structural pattern evinced by the B minor Sonata-a single long movement constructed on the principles of sonata first-movement form. It is possible that Liszt was here aiming at a type of structure intermediate between the two and this may explain why the Concerto may seem to have a certain ambiguity of form."

This is an unusual and austere work in which singers effectively declaim not sing parts of the Credo. The melodic line of the Gloria reveals the influence of plainchant." Collet: Franz Liszt.

186036281Leipzig 1860. Oblong folio approximately 234 x 320 mm. 19 measures. Notated in dark brown ink on 9-stave rastrum-drawn paper on the first page of a bifolium. With several corrections in Liszt's hand and the addition of numbering both above and within the staves referring to additional measures possibly being directions to a copyist. <br/><br/>Pages 2 and 3 of the bifolium contain a manuscript copy of Felix Mendelssohn's Gondellied opus 19 number 6 entitled "Venetianisches Gondellied" at the head of the first page<br/><br/>Page 4 is ruled but blank except for a short 1-1/2 measure sketch in pencil in an unknown hand. <br/><br/>Moderate browning; somewhat creased and with some showthrough; small 7 mm tear to upper edge of first leaf; paperclip stain to upper corner of outer pages; minor remnants of mounting paper to final page. <br/><br/>In quite good condition overall. The Liszt manuscript would appear to be an accompaniment to a song. <br/><br/>The inclusion of the Mendelssohn copyist manuscript with the present Liszt autograph is quite interesting; it may in fact be in the hand of one of the copyists in Liszt's circle in Leipzig although this point will require further research. Liszt made arrangements of six of Mendelssohn's songs in the 1840s.<br/><br/>We would like to thanks Drs. Rena Mueller David Cannata and Alan Walker for their advice regarding this manuscript. unknown books
