Here’s my week 3 recording of the Liszt transcription of Mozart’s “Ave Verum Corpus.”
-
Thurmond R Really lovely playing! Great choice of piece too! Love all these beautiful transcriptions.
-
Vidhya Bashyam thank you!
-
Thurmond R Beautifully sung, Thurmond!

Juan Carlos Olite thank you, Juan Carlos!

Here is my week 3 recording of Der Doppelgänger (Schubert/Liszt). As in week 2, I added the translation of Heinrich Heine’s poem- just select cc (close caption). I loved the dynamic variations from ppp to fff and some of the sentiments written in the score I have never seen before such as “angoscio” (with anguish) and “flebile” (mournful).
-
Vidhya Bashyam I just LOVE the way you are playing this, Vidhya! So much atmosphere, intensity, emotion.
-
Andrea Buckland Thank you so much Andrea! A pleasure to play when a piece is written so well. Love Schubert + Liszt
-
Vidhya Bashyam thank you so much for this piece which is new to me. You played convincingly as I felt the depth of its mournfulness even if you had not explained the meaning of flebile. Brava!
-
Ching Lee Goh Thank you so much!
-
Vidhya Bashyam Beautiful and breathtaking, Vidhya! Love it so much!

I'm running out of time to piece the whole Rigoletto together...so I'd like to send in instead Schubert- Liszt Widmung which was my first encounter with his amazing world of transcriptions.
-
Ching Lee Goh So beautiful and masterfully played! I have always loved this from beginning to end (what a nice touch to add Ave Maria at the end!). Another amazing piece that Liszt picked to transcribe. Tonebase needs to do a transcription challenge sometime
-
Vidhya Bashyam agree totally - a transcription challenge will be great! I have learnt much from you and others who have introduced new pieces to my ears. Would love to hear more in a special challenge!
-
Vidhya Bashyam Good idea!!! That would be wonderful to do
-
-
For good measure I'm also sending in Gretchen and Spinradde I submitted for a virtual masterclass last year (but not yet covered)
-
Ching Lee Goh You played this so well too! Another virtuosic piece that looks easy in your hands! I can’t believe Schubert wrote the original at such a young age. I hope they have a masterclass on it someday.
-
Vidhya Bashyam thank you! I suspect my pedallinng probably masked much of the faults.
-
Ching Lee Goh Great playing! My favorite Schubert-Liszt transcription. I join Vidhya's wish of having a lesson on it in Tonebase.
-
Juan Carlos Olite Thank you, and thank you also for your lovely Consolation. That was a familiar tune that I didn’t know belonged to Liszt! Always so much more to learn. Yes, Dominic says transcription challenge is on!

Yihan's performance: https://youtu.be/_mwZu4bn06c
This piece sounds a lot like a Chopin piece :-)
-
springgrass an amazing talent at such a young age!
-
Ching Lee Goh Thank you!

Hello Everyone,
Here is my performance of Schubert/Liszt Ave Maria :)

This thread seemed like the right one to share with you this piece.
Emre.

Emre Köseoğlu Wow! I love this transcription. You bring out the melody so beautifully! Thanks for sharing. There is a Schubert two week intensive happening now on tonebase. You should share it there too.
