Liszt Concerto editions

[flashyfingers]

Hello. I need links to where I can purchase a good edition (Hungarian, Urtext, etc.) of preferably the 2nd concerto. By Liszt. Thank you.

I need a good copy. Soon.

Don't think there's one that claims to be Urtext (possibly unless you go for full score), but this one is by a reputable, and Hungarian, publisher.

Whaaat?! Is that really the price and that's the complete score?!

I've had this problem where I would buy scores such as Mephisto valse no. 2 and concerto no.2 and the score would be exactly the smudged outdated copies that I could have printed for free on IMSLP, but with a new cover. It frustrates me immensely.

I don't have this particular one, but I've general found Editio Musica to be pretty good.

Cool. I won't be at much of a loss trying this one out. I'll let ya know when I get it in the mail.

Do you want a full score or a 2-piano score?
(And if you still want a Mephisto Waltz no. 2, get the EMB with all the MWs.)

[flashyfingers]

I want the full score.

I got the EMB edition of Liszt concerto no 2 today. It is one of the tiny scores that make your eyes turn to liquid. But the print looks really clean and very legible! Thanks jmenz!!

LOL - at your age that shouldn't be a problem. Just wait, though.

I believe I am still young enough to get lasik…not for long though. Here comes another birthday.

my youth is slowly leaving me!!!


Oh, anyways. Really happy to have been introduced to the edition Budapest.

I have the red-eye edition ("study score") of Busoni concerto from B&H. It's printed clearly but it's too small to be enjoyable. I'm waiting on Dover or Schirmer to take this one on, I'm surprised they haven't yet.
