- čas přidán 26. 08. 2024
- These transcriptions by Liszt were written in 1840, derived from 7 lieder by Mendelssohn (namely Op. 34/2, 4, 5, 6, Op. 19a/3, 4, and Op. 47/3). These are very innovative transcriptions; Liszt often adds new features and makes great use of the 3-handed effect of Thalberg. Unlike other common transcriptions, Liszt uses his genius and takes these simple lieder and takes them to a whole new level. The performance we see here is perfectly voiced and played with utmost expression.

Amazing it is how assertively self proclaimed a superstar as Liszt was ; along with his innumerable female fans assuring their mania fueled idolizing confirming it that such a celebrity openly set himself to writing music reflective of works of other composers. Shubert is a rimary source of some important and inspired compositions. What he did in Mendelssohn's honor is another example of the artistic altruistic Liszt who shows a zeal equal to his self centered, bigger than life persona...he was careful in respecting the works of his contemporaries. This is an awesome and serious piece befitting the legacy of Felix Mendelssohn
Such heavenly sounds. Liszt knew how to strike the soul with music!
Indeed!
I get the feeling that I'll never reach the bottom of the pile of Liszt's compositions that I've never heard of. He must have been a busy bee around the clock. These look very difficult.
Liszt never disappoints!
Nice
S547ii
Perfect
Liebestraum but 4th dimensional
The playing is nice, but the sound engineer managed to make the piano sound like it is singing through its nose
imagine if the alto clef was still used in piano writing
💀
Would that be a problem?
@@christophedevos3760 It would be very inconvenient.
😅
Is there any record of what Mendelssohn thought of these transcriptions?
Franz Liszt and Felix Mendelssohn really didn't like each other.
@@PieInTheSky9 I'm not sure we can conclude that Liszt and Mendelssohn didn't like each other. They were certainly on friendly terms in the early 1830s when Mendelssohn visited Paris. We know that Liszt, Chopin and Mendelssohn hung out quite a bit then, and it is well-documented how much Mendelssohn admired Liszt's piano playing. His dislike of Liszt's compositions is also well-documented, but again, it is uncertain which Liszt-works he was familiar with. Nonetheless it is true that Mendelssohn's taste in music was inherently conservative, and Liszt was always interested in doing something radical (whether in piano technique or harmony or structure or texture). So, while Mendelssohn didn't care for Liszt's compositions he was a fan of his playing - which makes me suspect he was pleased with Liszt's arrangements of his Lieder, as Liszt remained (mostly:) faithful to the originals here. Not sure about what Mendelssohn would have thought about Liszt's more creative interpretations of his music like the "concerto" for two pianos on Lieder ohne Worte or the delightful fantasy on Midsummernight's Dream. They had wildly different personalities, but we can be certain that they greatly admired each other: Mendelssohn was in awe of Liszt the pianist, and Liszt was a massive fan of Mendelssohn the composer (even though his artistic philosophy was completely at odds with Mendelssohn's!).
@@gergelykiss Your analysis is very detailed! However there is no hard evidence Mendelssohn had any opinion on these pieces (mainly because these transcriptions are rather obscure other than perhaps the first of the set), and Liszt’s compositional style also extended on to his transcriptions. So even though there is no evidence on the transcriptions themselves, Mendelssohn many not have liked these because of Liszt’s style.
