LIEBESTRAUME PIANO
Originally designed for voice and piano, Franz Liszt's 'Liebesträume' were published in 1850 as lieder and solo piano works at the same time. It is the latter ones that have become famous, particularly 'Love Dream No. 3' which was to become one of the most popular pieces of the Romantic piano literature. Existing autograph sketches are of only little significance to the final form of the works; the complete autograph is privately owned and not accessible. This is why the new edition of Wiener Urtext Edition basically follows the first edition of 1850 with its highly reliable text but not the second publication of the original publisher which is sometimes mistaken for the first one,as the first edition of the second publication contains more mistakes than the edition of 1850. The present edition is completed by a clear notation and convenient page turns as well as informative commentaries of the Liszt expert Christian Ubber.

About the author
Franz Liszt
2,560 books41 followersFranz Liszt (1811, Doborján, Hungary - 1886, Bayreuth, Germany)(Hungarian: Ferencz Liszt, in modern usage Ferenc Liszt, from 1859 to 1865 officially Franz Ritter von Liszt) (October 22, 1811 – July 31, 1886) was a Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist and teacher. He was also the father-in-law of Richard Wagner.
Liszt became renowned throughout Europe for his great skill as a performer during the 1800s. He is said to have been the most technically advanced and perhaps greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner and Hector Berlioz.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the “neudeutsche schule” (“New German School”). He left behind a huge and diverse body of work, in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some 20th-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony.
