Looking for... Lizst, easy, suitable for church
on: February 29, 2008, 02:05:48 AM
Yep.  That piece.

Something with a Liszt flavor.

Easier.  I'm not going to work on it a lot or all at once.  Simple Liszt that still sounds like typical Liszt.

And something that would work in a church setting too in case I ever use it there.


I'm thinking there are Liebestraume (sp?) but I don't want a transcendental level of difficulty.  I don't know which one that would be though.

So I guess Liszt's Evocation of the Sistine Chapel would be a bit too much.

Consolation 4
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

If it doesn't work - try something different!

Hymne de l'enfant à son reveil (From: "Harmonies poetiques et religieuses". ) Is beautiful. There is an awful video at:

Any more? 

How many consolations are there?  I think that's what I was thinking of.

Are the Spos and Hymne easier pieces?  I'm not looking for a virtuoso piece.

i cant remember if they are 5 or 6 consolations.
i like n.2 and 3.
n.2 is really nice, but n.3 is more popular, and generally people love it  ;)
Learning:

Chopin Polonaise Op. 53
Brahms Op. 79 No. 2
Rachmaninoff Op. 16 No. 4 and 5
