Description

Volume 34 of the New Liszt Edition contains free arrangements made by Liszt in 1840 and 1841, which include many well-known and popular large operatic fantasies. Alongside the paraphrases and reminiscences on motifs from Lucrezia Borgia , Don Juan , Norma , I puritani and Robert le diable , the volume contains a piano transcription of seven Mendelssohn songs, the Hussitenlied ; and an arrangement of one of Meyerbeer’s melodramas. Special features are the Cavatina on a theme by Auber, and the first edition of a piano piece based on an unfamiliar theme.
