Liszt Duo (Sonata)
on: February 14, 2007, 05:51:52 PM
For Violin and Piano, a work of over 20  minutes of music.  Contains very exciting music for both instruments, discovered circa 1960.   Begins as a paraphrase of a chopin Mazurka and shows advanced thematic transformation abilities, and not, as the only album yet released says, from 1833.  I read that this must have come from his Weimar period when Joachim (an expert violinist) could help him write his virtuosic work.

Anyone have this?
For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)
