Franz Liszt (1811–1886) was a
lifelong enthusiast for Goethe’s
Faust. He had become
acquainted with the tragedy in
1830 while a young man,
according to Hector Berlioz:
“Liszt visited me yesterday Open
evening. We did not yet know Preface
each other. I told him about (PDF)

Franz Liszt
The most famous piano virtuoso of
the nineteenth century is regarded
as the most influential artist and
composer (with Berlioz, Wagner) of
the so-called New German School.
His immense musical oeuvre
comprises, above all else, works for
solo piano, including numerous
transcriptions; he also devised the
symphonic poem. Important, too,
are his sacred and secular choral
works and songs.

Norbert Gertsch (Editor)
Dr. Norbert Gertsch, born in 1967 in
Rheinkamp/Moers, studied piano
solo at the Mozarteum in Salzburg
and read musicology and philosophy
at the Paris Lodron University in
Salzburg and the Ruperto Carola
University Heidelberg on a
scholarship from the
“Studienstiftung des Deutschen
Volkes”. In 1996 he wrote his
doctoral thesis on Ludwig van
Beethoven’s Missa solemnis (as part
of the New Complete Edition) under
Ludwig Finscher.
I am sure these new Liszt editions of standard
works from the ‘bravura repertoire’ will be well …

De schitterende nieuwe Henle is dit stuk meer dan
waard. Lenau’s tekst en een illustratie daarvan
zijn afgedrukt, alsmede een sterk vereenvoudigde
versie die Liszt voor barones Von Meyendorff
maakte. Kan ook de amateur een echte Liszt
spelen. Heerlijk!
