Smp_stars50 For the Beethoven connoisseur

"Understand that this is a reproduction, albeit a pretty good one, of the original publication from the 19th Century, and the print is a bit on the small side. The intermediate pianist will be stretched extensively learning these works. Franz Liszt was attempting to put every voice of the orchestra into the piano notes. Some of the fingering is maddeningly complex, and Liszt's infrequent fingering notations are often meant for someone else's hands, not yours. Be prepared to make some revisions, especially if you have smaller hands. Recommendation: track down the Leslie Howard recordings on CD of these piano works if you want to be inspired about learning to play this remarkable music. My only serious criticism is that the sheet music is not available in a spiral binding. That would make it easier to learn and play. Turning pages on this perfect bound book is awkward as the pages rarely stay flat."

Smp_stars50 Liszt Transcriptions

"The guy was fenomenal! Of course, his hands were humongous and not everybody can do what he did at the piano. Many times the music is way too crowded because he wanted to include as many notes as possible from the Symphonies. it not an easy read, but it's a great transcription."
