Franz Liszt - Liebestraum

on: December 10, 2015, 08:22:38 AM

I've been chipping away at this piece since I picked up Piano 2 years ago - I'm about halfway through now. I know my performance is full of flaws, but this piece makes me so happy to play. I'm finally learning my favorite section.

I can tell by the way you play the first page this liebestraum makes you happy. It really comes through. Maybe a bit too much rubato, but who cares!
Isn't this what music is all about?

Thank you for your reply. I'm looking for a new piece to start working on, one that is a little easier than liebestraum. Can you make a recommendation?

Reminds me of Schubert OP 90 no 3.

You may like that piece and I would say easier than Liebestraum.

Ah that sounds lovely addod, I can't wait to get started on it. It seems like a much tamer piece - a great opportunity to try and get my rythym and rubato under control.
