Lizsts most famous pieces
on: October 24, 2020, 10:45:32 PM
Where are all the most famous liszt's manuscripts? Can we see them anywhere on the web? (like liebestraumes, Hungarian rhapsodies and La campanella)

They are indeed all available on IMSLP!

 The Hungarian Rhapsodies (at least the better known ones), his La Campanella, Un Sospiro, Consolodations and B Minor Sonata are all available to view.

 Bare in mind that if you are looking to learn any of then they may not be the best transcripts and there may even be mistakes! I have come across a few mistakes in some of the transcripts of Beethoven Sonatas that they have available!

The manuscript for the B minor sonata is really interesting. You can see that he originally planned a big, loud, grandiose typical Liszt ending, and then crossed it out and wrote the quiet one the piece ended up with instead. Good call by Liszt IMO lol
