At the Piano - Liszt: 11 well-known original pieces - Piano - Score - (HN 1819_: 11 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments

I am disappointed as I couldn’t find ‘La Campanella’ in it. :(Actually that was the only one I wanted to learn. :(

Throughout my years of piano education, I never studied Liszt. His music was presumably too difficult for consideration, and in college, my piano professor dismissed Liszt as a flamboyant show-off and not worthy of my studies. I reluctantly began watching a Wondrium class on Liszt at my husband’s request, and we have been fascinated with his story and his music. Yes, most of his music sounded unplayable, but I decided to see if Amazon had any music that I could possibly play. This collection of piano pieces sounded intriguing with its claim of playable pieces.The contents of this book are an excellent introduction to playing Liszt. There is a detailed one-page biographical sketch. Each piece includes a short description, such as when and why it was composed. Another section points out things to watch for when playing as well as suggestions on how to play. These features are common to all of the books in the “At the Piano” series. All pieces are edited to strict Urtext principles, meaning that the music is faithful to what the composer wrote, and any additional editing, such as fingerings, will be pointed out.The selection of pieces are from easy (grade 3) to moderately difficult (grade 6/7). I was pleased that I could sightread the first piece fairly easily. Here is a breakdown of the contents with the grade in parentheses:1. Piano Piece in F# major - Sehr langsam (3)2. Piano Piece in F# major - Andantino (3)3. Consolation no. 1 in E major (4)4. Consolation no. 2 in E major (4/5)5. Consolation no. 3 in D-flat major (4/5)6. Il Penseroso (4/5)7. Hymne de l’enfant a son reveil (5/6)8. Le mal du pays (5/6)9. Canzonetta del Salvator Rosa (5/6)10. Aux Cypres de la Villa d’Este (5/6)11. Liebestraum no. 3 in A-flat major (6/7)The physical quality of this book is typical of G. Henle Verlag—pages sewn in signatures, thick off-white pages, and good ink coverage. The book lays flat once you prepare it by opening it up in the middle and smoothing it flat, then opening it up halfway to the middle and smoothing it flat, etc., until you have smoothed most of the pages flat.I am so pleased with this book that I plan to purchase more books in the “At the Piano” series.My only disappointment is in Amazon’s packaging, which we all know has gone downhill. The book was placed in a box with three air pillows that did little to restrict its movement, so the book’s edges were pretty beaten up. There were also creases and scratches on the cover, with a deep crease at the top that went through the entire book. At first I thought the book was used, but the inside pages were still tight like it had never been opened. Since I’m having so much fun playing this music, these issues aren’t worth returning it.
