Choral music has always been my favorite to listen to - probably because I grew up with a brother who was always practicing his singing in the room next to mine, and he had a marvelous bass voice. Here is a beautiful section of Liszt's larger choral work, "Christus," the "Pater Noster":

I'll try to repractise in segments his Rigoletto Paraphrase which I had to replace with something easier for an exam programme. And see if I can put it all together at the end of 2 weeks. Here is the main theme which is the easiest part!

I'm not quite sure if this is the right thread to post it on, but I recently made a recording of Liszt's La Leggierezza.

Adding an attachment didn't seem to work, so here is a link instead that I hope will work....Here's my practice of the Intro to Gnomenreigen. Sounds nothing like the professionals. Is it where I put the accents that's wrong. The first try is with some pedal. The second try is dry, but I ended up going slower without it, for some reason...?. Which sounds better? In the sheet music, it is written a ton of pedaling. Maybe that was because Liszt played on a less resonant piano? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YS7rTmdGNJX5z3xshKI883jOHFgbtHlN/view?usp=sharing
