For those who wish to tackle Liszt's most well-known masterpieces, but are not willing to spend on many books or to search through volumes, this book is a good start-off point. 13 pieces that shortly sum up Liszt's mastery, with some of the most dynamic piano solos ever committed to paper. The binding is decently strong, and there are virtually no questionable fingerings. A thin, light, convenient book containing piano virtuosity.Liszt is not for beginners, however. But be ambitious, keep inspired. These works are perfect solo pieces to show to all hotshot players who think they've got piano skills just because they can play "Fur Elise" or pop hits from the radio.
the binding seems like flimsy but it stays intact and holds pages nicely. it says "Lay Flat Sewn Binding" on the front cover. So far it holds everything together. There's good spaces within each pages. the fonts are nice and not straining to my eyes (i have very bad eyes) see pic.Excellent compilation, editors are world class (one of them being emil von sauer who was the student of liszt himself),some of the most popular Liszt piano pieces are all here:- Hungarian Rhapsody No2 c min (Yakov Mil'shteyn)- Un Sospiro (Ferriccio Busoni )- Funerailles oct. 1849 (jose vianna da motta)- Consolation No. 3 Db maj. (jose vianna da motta)- Liebestraum No 3 Ab maj (Emil von sauer)- La Campanella (Ferriccio Busoni )- Sonetto 104 del Petrarca - Ammees de pelerinage, Italie no5 (Yakov Mil'shteyn)- Mephisto Waltz No 1(Emil von sauer)- Waldesrauschen Concert Etude No1 (Ferriccio Busoni )- Gnomenreigen Concert Etude No2 (Ferriccio Busoni )- Rakoczy March - Hungarian Rhapsody No15 Amin. (Yakov Mil'shteyn)- Nuages Gris- Valse Oubliee No1 ( Emil von sauer)
The content of this book is very good and I thoroughly enjoy the pieces in it. However, the pages fall out of this book very easily and it's poorly bound. I would not recommend the book for that reason.
Excellent edition. Pages stay open and notes are clearly legible. There are hours of music for an excellent price. Pages are a little fragile but not cheaply made. If you take care of it this book will last a life time
