Horowitz Ballade No. 2 on the disc Horowitz Plays Liszt.

Bolet's Wagner-Liszt Tannhauser Overture (most people prefer the live version, although I personally prefer the studio).

your posts sound like richard kastle  8) 8) 8)

eeh isn't Liszt like Kastle's long-lost great great grandpa/godfather?? After all, he knows exactly what Liszt wants in his music and adores that idea to death...


...but you know, in retrospect, there was an account of Liszt playing the piano "in the style of Chopin" that when ppl walk in, they were surprised it was Liszt sitting on the piano...

...for me, Il Lamento and some Transcendental Etudes (Chasse Neige, Ricordanza, maybe Harmonies and Mazeppa) and maybe even the 2 concert studies stand as musically interesting works...but I suppose everything else (this side of those late, pious works) is indeed showy stuff...

...but who cares? He is quite a fundamental figure in the development of piano music and recitals, even if in the non-musical aspects as it were...

i did stop since the last post in this thread...it is quite useless...somewhat like give a diamond to a monkey  ;)

If your idea of giving someone a "diamond" is to tell them to  shut up and leave and suggest that they have been raped, then this monkey doesn't want your "diamonds."

Besides, I'm done talking about Liszt forever, so you and I can be friends now. ;D

Does anyone have the score for the Royce concerto?

...just work out what the chords are, then embellish them with arpeggios and scales ^^
