Franz Liszt - Rhapsodie espagnole Komponist: Franz Liszt Antall sider: 32 Sjanger: Classical Instrument: Piano Utgivelsesår: 2019 Utgiver: G. Henle Verlag Utgavenummer: 1333 ISMN: 9790201813332 Liszt's piano rhapsodies stand in the tradition of his transcriptions of operatic or song melodies, yet employ folk dances and songs as their source material. Completed in 1864, Rhapsodie espagnole is a late reminiscence ofLiszt's extended travels to Spain and Portugal in 1844-45. On the basis of two popular Iberian dance tunes, Folia and Jota, Liszt here sets off fireworks of representative rhythms and tone colours with a highly virtuosic prestofinale. The long inaccessible autograph manuscript of the composition is now accessible once more - an occasion for G. Henle Publishers to revise its Urtext edition.
