Description

Franz Liszt, a dedicated admirer of Schubert, frequently showcased transcriptions of Schubert's songs during his piano recitals, achieving remarkable success that caught the attention of publishers. Beginning in 1838, a multitude of these arrangements was published, rapidly disseminating across Europe in various editions and reprints. The six "Miller Songs," released in 1846, are described in the title of the Viennese first edition as being "transcribed into a lighter style," serving as an excellent introduction to Liszt's work in this genre. However, in "The Miller and the Brook," Liszt's virtuosity shines through, particularly in the middle section, where he introduces a more intricate interpretation of the "little brook" as an Ossia, intended for more skilled pianists. Evgeny Kissin's fingerings provide an ideal foundation for effectively interpreting the musical text crafted by Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl, which is based on comprehensive source material.

As a dedicated admirer of Schubert, Franz Liszt enjoyed playing transcriptions of Schubert's songs during his piano recitals – and so impressively that publishers started to pay attention. Commencing in 1838, many of these types of agreements were published. They rapidly circulated across Europe in various editions and reissues. The six “Miller Songs” released in 1846 are, as stated in the title of the initial Viennese edition, “transcribed in a lighter manner,” providing an excellent introduction to this aspect of Liszt’s artistry. Notably, “Wandering” serves as a remarkable instance of how Liszt, the arranger, elevates a straightforward verse song into an outstanding piano composition through the use of constantly refreshing timbres and figurations. Through his fingerings, Evgeny Kissin provides an ideal basis for effectively performing the musical text created by Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl, drawing from all available sources.

In the final years of his life, Schubert increasingly found success in publishing his works. For instance, his Impromptus and Moments musicaux were published in 1827 and 1828, respectively. Likely capitalizing on this momentum, he composed three additional pieces in May 1828. While equally impressive, these later works remained unpublished until Brahms' edition in 1868 - an unjustifiable delay that may contribute to their relative obscurity today.
