    Progress post- My first practice video of Der Doppelg盲nger- a Liszt piano transcription of a Schubert piano/voice piece. Based on the poem by Heinrich Heine. I have tried to add subtitles for the poem so you can follow along with the story- you have to enable captions (something new I just learned how to do). I heard this in an album full of transcriptions recently so I am happy to have an excuse to learn it now. Looking forward to recording a cleaner version in the final week.

    Liszt Consolation No. 1 - YouTube

     

    This is the easy one to play.

    I now regret saying earlier I would try no. 3.
