Rather than a piece-by-piece listening guide, these short notes aim at being a guide for entering the world of Liszt. Listening to the works, one by one, will illustrate better than any explanatory note the sense of this music. However, in order to enter this world, one needs some premises in terms of a listening method, and of an introduction to the musical parameters, rather than of descriptive illustration of the pieces. Those who can read a musical score will find all pieces of this album freely on the website IMSLP. By following them during the listening process, the harmonic and contrapuntal processes of Liszt’s writing will be clarified.Liszt’s musical education was immediately linked to the Beethovenian experience. At the young age of eleven, he wrote a Variation on the theme of Diabelli’s waltz. Along with the variation written by Schubert, and with the 33 visionary variations by Beethoven, it is one of the most daring and innovative.
