Hello, I have been looking for the score for Liszt's OWN transcription of Les Preludes for solo piano, mistakenly attributed to one of his students Karl Klauser. This transcription has not been officially accepted as Liszt's own, so it has not been included in the Neue Liszt-Ausgabe of Editio Musica Budapest. It has been recorded by Leslie Howard as part of Hyperion's Complete Liszt Edition (vol. 38). But where can I find the score?Anyone? Thanks,David
Dear Mr. David: According to the Grove Dictionary, there are two versions of Les Preludes: piano four-hands (B12) and two pianos (C11). I did check the "Doubtful works" entry, but there's nothing about it. If there is not a new document, discovery or whatever that proves such a hypothesis, it is probably speculative. Anyway, I listened to the record of Mr. Howard and it's quite amazing. Best wishes!
