Beautiful recording of Arrau

[@khenali25u8]

WOW! I had never known of these pieces! I had only thought Liszt wrote a few Nocturnes but to my surprise "My Darling" is a Nocturne! Hooray! Another one to add to list of pieces I hope to learn someday. This whole suite is fantastic. Thank you Liszt for blessing us once again!
Arrau did a great job here too. A pianist becomes so inspired listening to fantastic performances like this. I must keep going

This is Chopin's music, you clown. This is Liszt arranging another composer's music. How can you not recognize between Chopin & Liszt's music? Chopin is elegant, dramatic & refined. Liszt is flamboyant, intense & unnecessarily acrobatic, (Particularly in his younger years). This music has Chopin stamped all over it.

[@eliplayer2122]

@@jessevallejo8797 No need to throw insults around. And liszts music is wonderful, you are just biased towards a composer that is easier to understand

[@treesny]

@@jessevallejo8797 Liszt wrote plenty of music that is "elegant, dramatic & refined." And his transcriptions of these songs are a marvel, full of invention and yet entirely in the spirit of the voice/piano originals.

[@sebastian-benedictflore]

I'm confused. Liszt arranged this from songs by Chopin?

[@no_one20077]

Yes, chopin wrote 19 songs op 74. Liszt arranged 6 of them for piano

[@pimusa]

That means Chopin wrote songs with words in his life.

[@nilskroehl]

Chopin knew german??

[@unknown_melodies9399]

@@nilskroehl It is possible that he knew the German language but those songs were originally written in Polish and then probably translated so that other singers could also perform them.

[@brooksiefan]

That is it. Composed on original polish poems, with one only exception. The songs were composed sparsely during a spam of twenty years.

[@pianoman1857]

i thought the second was by Mendelssohn

[@fTripleSharp]

Mendelssohn did write a spring song, but it's unrelated to this one

10:42 that's why you came here
