Review (PDF) The Schubert Song Transcriptions For Solo Piano/Series I: "Ave Maria," "Erlkonig" And Ten Other Great Songs (Dover Music For Piano)
In the course of his long career as the outstanding pianist-composer of his time, Franz Liszt was a tireless champion of music by other composers, especially those whose works he felt deserved greater recognition. Beethoven's symphonies, Wagner's operas, and Schubert's songs were among the compositions Liszt chose to promote by transforming them from their original scoring into new conceptions for solo piano.This volume contains twelve great Schubert lieder in Liszt's brilliant transcriptions, including such well-known masterpieces as "Ave Maria," "Der Wanderer," "Die junge Nonne," "Gretchen am Spinnrade," and the unforgettable "Erlkönig."Reproduced from extremely rare early editions, this unique volume of transcriptions brings to pianists and music lovers the familiar beauty of Schubert's melodies in solo piano arrangements that reflect Liszt's incomparable mastery of the keyboard.

The notation is large but the book is the size of Dover's Selections from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (titled Galliards, Pavans,and ......) You can read it ad practice with it though. (It is not nearly as small as the typical paperback young adult fantasy book that unfantastic people read. For the Early Advanced-Advanced pianist. Erlknog- has fast repeating octaves.
This is a good-quality edition for the price. Although the original typesetter took some notational short cuts, in my opinion, they make the score less cluttered and easier to read. I have enjoyed playing from it much.
Good service, and the music was what was wanted. Thanks for your reliable delivery and large inventory. That's all she wrote!
Not quite as good as the Schirmer, but the price is very good.
