The third concert etude in D-flat major from Liszt's Trois etudes
de concert will challenge advanced pianists with its constant
hand-crossings and varying number of cascading notes per measure in
the accompaniment. A lovely pentatonic melody is embedded in the
rolling arpeggio-like patterns, frequently played by alternating
hands throughout the piece. Keeping this cantando melodic line
distinct and phrased while transparently maintaining the flowing
accompaniment is the primary challenge of this masterwork. This
edition is based on Musikalische Werke herausgegeben von der Franz
Liszt-Stifung, Series II, edited by Ferruccio Busoni.
Francis Hueffer (1845-89) was born and studied music in Germany,
but moved to London in 1869 to pursue a career as a critic and
writer on music. He edited the series 'The Great Musicians' for
Novello and Co., was music critic of The Times, wrote libretti for
some now-forgotten operas, and was an early advocate and
interpreter to the British of Wagner. As well as writing Wagner in
his own 'Great Musicians' series (1881), and Richard Wagner and the
Music of the Future (1874), he translated the correspondence of
Wagner and Liszt. This fascinating two-volume selection, published
in 1888, covers the period 1841-61. Hueffer signals in his preface
the importance to Wagner of the encouragement of Liszt - an
established performer when Wagner was barely known and widely
ridiculed, a musical mentor, an enthusiastic critic and eventually
a father-in-law.

The Scherzo No. 1 in B minor, written between 1831 and 1832, is
marked "Presto con fuoco." The piece is very dark, dramatic, and
lively. The Scherzo No. 2 in B-flat minor, was composed and
published in 1837, and described by Schumann as "overflowing with
tenderness, boldness, love and contempt." The Scherzo No. 3 in
C-sharp minor is the most tightly constructed and grandest of the
four scherzos. His final Scherzo, No. 4 in E major, was written in
1842, is generally calmer, and is based on a Polish folk song. The
Fantasy in F minor was composed in 1842, 7 years before Chopin's
death in Paris.
