Liszt - Mephisto Waltz for Orchestra, S. 110 (Sheet Music)

[@peterbengtson7406]

This is Liszt at his best. The transcription is a work of genius and brings out the logic of the piano original through very effective and nuanced orchestration.

[@oceancheung6139]

Liszt wrote the orchestrated version first then transcribe this to the piano, get your description right

[@Damian_Theodoridis]

He actually didn't. This is Busoni's Arrangement transcribed for orchestra. Listen to Busoni's piano version

[@ShaunakDesaiPiano]

@@Damian_Theodoridis I thought Busoni just made his own solo piano version that was more loyal to the orchestral version than Liszt’s solo piano version was.

@@ShaunakDesaiPiano well mabye idk

[@user-fu7zf4ck9z]

@@Damian_Theodoridis No you‘re wrong my friend. Liszt wrote the orchestral version first, then made a piano version. Busoni made piano transcription of the orchestral version (Liszt technically didn‘t do a transcription, but more a translation instead)

It's my first time by hearing this one.

[@artemlyubchenko3022]

Didn’t Liszt write this first and then transcribed it for piano?

No. According to Howard: "The Zwei Episoden aus Lenaus Faust (‘Two Episodes from Lenau’s Faust’) for orchestra were completed by 1861, but Liszt’s piano version of Der Tanz in der Dorfschenke-[Erster] Mephisto-Walzer (‘Dance in the Village Inn-[First] Mephisto Waltz’), which preceded the orchestral version, had already appeared."

The best version of the work continues to be the piano+orchestra version performed by Kataaris

4:44 mistake

[@ajpascual5362]

2:55 must be tricky to play on the strings due to the lack of open strings I believe.

[@brent3522]

The 1st violins on that part are marked divisi, not to be played as double stops, if that's what you mean
