Liszt: Liebesträume

Description

Originally designed for voice and piano, Franz Liszt's Liebesträume were published in 1850 as lieder and solo piano works at the same time. It is the latter ones that have become famous, particularly Love Dream No. 3 which was to become one of the most popular pieces of the Romantic piano literature. Existing autograph sketches are of only little significance to the final form of the works; the complete autograph is privately owned and not accessible. This is why the Wiener Urtext Edition basically follows the first edition of 1850 with its highly reliable text but not the second edition of the original publisher which is sometimes mistaken for the first one. The present edition is completed by a clear engraving and convenient page turns.
