Default Liszt Day
It's Franz Liszt's birthday!

Let's have some crazy piano music! Mephisto #1!
played by Ri-- I mean Horowitz!

The piece dates from ca 1860, when Liszt rewrote the orchestral version as an indepedent piano piece. It has a story, of course; this was printed with the waltz:

Quote:
There is a wedding feast in progress in the village inn, with music, dancing, carousing. Mephistopheles and Faust pass by, and Mephistopheles induces Faust to enter and take part in the festivities. Mephistopheles snatches the fiddle from the hands of a lethargic fiddler and draws from it indescribably seductive and intoxicating strains. The amorous Faust whirls about with a full-blooded village beauty in a wild dance; they waltz in mad abandon out of the room, into the open, away into the woods. The sounds of the fiddle grow softer and softer, and the nightengale warbles his love-laden song.
Which is all very poetic, but I've always been told that the opening is the strings tuning... anyone else?

This piece has all the great elements of Liszt: the drama, the romance, the crazy colors, the flying scales, the monstrous chords, eh little bit of thematic transformation - and, unlike Dante, it's not 50 minutes long!

Everyone ought to listen to Bénédiction de Dieu dans la Solitude, as played by Kun Woo Paik (almost everyone else plays it too quickly). Sublime, serene and mystical, it has a fond place in my heart as one of the first pieces of classical music (i.e. music) that I really loved.
