Summary:

The-foremost pianist-composer of his day, Franz Liszt also promoted the achievements of other composers with his inspired transcriptions for solo piano of their work. In addition to Beethoven's symphonies and Wagner's operas, Liszt created brilliant transcriptions of Schubert's songs. This volume is the third in Dover's popular series of Schubert song transcriptions; it features all 14 songs in the Schwanengesang series, including such masterpieces as "Das Fischermadchen, " "Am Meer, " "Abschied, " "Standchen, " "Fruhlings-Sehnsucht, " "Der Doppelganger, " and other famed lieder. These dazzling transcriptions, reproduced from extremely rare early editions overseen by Liszt himself, retain the lyric beauty and emotional depth of the original works and reflect Liszt's incomparable mastery of the keyboard Pianists and music lovers will prize this modestly priced collection of hard-to-find gems.
