Beethoven-Liszt: Symphony No. 7 excerpt (Liszt's transcription in two versions)
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
Here's a passage of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony which Liszt transcribed in a very unusual way (perhaps the most unusual of all the Beethoven symphonies) in his first version S463d from 1837. Liszt outright demolished the dotted rhythm of the melody in exchange for a fuller sound which aimed to, more or less, reflect the string tremolos. 0:00 - Original orchestral version (1812): Herbert Blomst...

A short piece composed by Beethoven upon the visit of French violinist Alexandre Boucher. The manuscript is dated April 29, 1822. The score, which can be found in IMSLP, was engraved and edited by me based on the autograph manuscript housed in the Bibliothèque nationale de France. The piece was first published, with many mistakes, in 1901. Performers: Lukas Hagen & Rainer Schmidt / ruclips.net/...

    Beethoven to 11 year old Liszt: "'You go on ahead. You are one of the lucky ones! It will be your destiny to bring joy and delight to many people and that is the greatest happiness one can achieve.” Liszt recounting the moment he met the maestro: "'This was the proudest moment in my life - the inauguration to my life as artist. I tell this very rarely - and only to special friends.'"

    Eternal Congratulations! With a 1% of it going to Liszt. Although this piano version sounds horrible, one has to recognize that it conveniently captures the composition from the partiture for a better understanding of it, which would be very hard to do from the full partiture. I find this video ideal to follow after having heard the original symphonic version for a hundred times, and be able to read the two piano lines in real time without problems. This can explain how the orchestral music sounds like it does, and experience further admiration for the mind of Beethoven.

    • @pizzacheeto
      @pizzacheeto Год назад

      This 2-piano transcription is certainly a blessing! It was common to separate the scores of the 2 pianos in such arrangements but when Liszt submitted his manuscript to the publisher (Schott) he specifically requested that the two pianos be engraved on the same page (the style of which is reflected in the score used in the video). Alongside its possible usage for study, the justification can be found on the cover page of the first edition - Liszt had declared that an effective performance of the transcription may only be realized if both performers are aware of the full scope of the work. This manner of engraving was considered unsaleable and we have Schott to thank for pushing through with its printing. Extra points to Schott because when Liszt returned the proofs he noted that there were very few mistakes in the engraving!

In a time where orchestral music is difficult to access, Liszt wanted to popularize these symphonies, hoping that any effort by a conscientious transcriber - Liszt admits that his transcriptions are "mediocre" - could at least preserve some hints of Beethoven's genius. In transcribing these symphonies, Liszt cements himself as the foremost bearer of Beethoven's immortal spirit.
