In Liszt Reminiscences de Norma there's a melody under big arpeggios that starts on page 94 and goes basically through to the end. And I can't find it anywhere in the opera. Does anyone know what song from Norma Liszt uses here?
is it a transcription or a paraphrase? paraphrases typically include elaborations not int he original and some original melodic/thematic content (including variation and thematic transformation). the work is a paraphrase, then it may be Liszt up to his composer antics
