Vallée D'Obermann

I officially declare this piece to be incredible.
"It may be seen as a 'Tristan of the Piano.'" - Herbert Westerby, "Liszt and his piano works"
The quote is excessive,but it is still an amazing work.

Discuss.

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.)

I won 10 Grand with dis piece.  ;D Tis cool, difficult to hang together though.  I like the quote when Warlock was playing it to a friend how he imagined wandering the fields of switzerland (he was under the influence of hashish at the time)
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

...agreed. Shame it lives under the shadow of Dante, d'Este, and Tarantella [most of the time anyway]

...but Tristan of the piano? hmmm...

Aha I know that book by Westerby...had to write something about Don Juan Reminiscenses, so I just quoted a whole chunk of paragraph straight off that book. Ha.
