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

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."

Minor internal wear. First Edition later issue. Searle 97. Raabe 414. Sonneck Orchestral Music p. 266. <br /> <br /> Liszt was a distinguished Hungarian composer pianist conductor and writer.<br /> <br /> "Sketchbook evidence points to 1846-7 as the years when Liszt began to conceive the idea of a series of programmatic orchestral works. Of the four works he named all based on French poetry Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne and Les Préludes eventually became symphonic poems. . <br /> <br /> Liszt's concentration on the symphonic poem largely coincided with his tenure as Kapellmeister in Weimar where he had an orchestra at his disposal and provided music for performances at the Court Theatre. The Grand Duke commissioned Liszt's 'overtures' to preface specific dramas which thereby determined the subject matter of what were to become a number of his symphonic poems. Cormac F2017 argues that Liszt's approach to the overtures and their transformation into symphonic poems was influenced by his experience of an array of dramatic media opera plays melodramas tableaux vivants and by his interaction with staff and actors involved in the dramatic productions in Weimar. A New German School acolyte Felix Draeseke writing about the symphonic poems in a series of essays from the late 1850s acknowledged the influence of dramatic music especially opera on Liszt's Festklänge. Draeseke also addressed the issue that continues to interest scholars - the symphonic poems' engagement with sonata form. .<br /> <br /> Looking at the 12 Weimar symphonic poems Vande Moortele . views all but three Orpheus Héroide funèbre and Hunnenschlacht as using sonata form as one of the central principles guiding their large-scale organization. Furthermore Liszt seems to have attempted the same merging of sonata form and sonata cycle evident in the B Minor Sonata in Tasso Les préludes and Die Ideale and possibly Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne. .<br /> <br /> Some of the symphonic poems include mimetic representation of scenes and actions such as Hunnenschlacht's depiction of a battle and Prometheus's evocation of a voice followed by a storm. The inclusion of such passages drew criticism that a number of the symphonic poems seemed formless and could not be understood without access to a programme. In other symphonic poems such as Les Préludes and Orpheus Liszt responded to a philosophical programme without compromising musical logic. In these cases critics recognized Liszt the 'tone poet' who could capture a poetic stimulus in an expressive evocative musical flow unified by a single theme that underwent transformations. In general Liszt's sumptuous orchestral colorings were the dominant focus of critics' positive reception of his symphonic poems and programme symphonies."

187514164Berlin - Wien: Schlesinger-Haslinger Ca. 1875. Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Score of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody no. 12 "A J. Joachim" with the ownership stamp of the important twentieth-century German pianist Elly Ney who has also penned "12. Ungarische Rhapsodie" in blue ink at the head. A few paper repair within edges lightly nicked with small tears spine reinforced with green cloth overall very good. There are no markings within the score. <br style="">Elly Ney was one of the 20th century's outstanding pianists and at 16 won the Mendelssohn prize 1900—in a contest of which the famous Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim was one of the judges.  The present work by Liszt is dedicated to Joachim. <br>Of Ney's great performing Willhelm Kempff wrote: "My ears still hear her melodious voice with its unmistakable hint of her Rhineland origins which had the gift of establishing immediate contact with everyone she spoke to. This happened even more intensely when she stepped onto the concert platform. Just one mysterious chord Beethoven's D minor sonata for instance and the listener was drawn into her magnetic field. What then ensued cannot and should not be described in words nor should it be scientifically dissected. Those who had ears heard for themselves. But that was by no means the end of the matter. A realisation continued to resonate in her listeners' hearts as it had begun to resonate from the moment this greatest of performers stepped onto the platform - the realisation that artistry of this quality draws its strength from roots that have their being in the unfathomable depths of the human soul."<br style=""> Schlesinger-Haslinger hardcover books
