Deluxe full-color facsimile issued on the occasion of the rediscovery
of the manuscript in 2007. The piece dates from 1843 and is dedicated
to Graf Franz von Pocci of Munich. The song was apparently written ad
hoc at one of the social gatherings at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof and
sung for the first time by Armgard von Arnim who had a lovely soprano
voice and was admired by Liszt. The 24-bar song is a striking example
of the composer's ability to capture the message of the poem in a
concentrated musical form in only a few steps. The facsimile enables us
to see how quickly Liszt jotted down and corrected the song and it is
not surprising the he omitted elements that do not belong to the core
substance of the musical text, for example, accidentals, clefs, dynamic
markings, phrasing & articulation are lacking. Commentary in
Ger-Eng, together with
modern edition. Handsome binding with blue paper boards, and pasted
label. $78
