Description :

In summer 1881, Franz Liszt composed a work that he called 'Valse oubliée' (Forgotten waltz) in a letter to his publisher. The work is reminiscent of the appealing piano waltzes that the composer used to write when he was younger – although there is a certain distance to the usual waltz style. Liszt by no means renounces virtuosity and elegance, but rather infuses these characteristics with nostalgia and irony by embedding typical melodic and rhythmic elements of salon waltzes in innovative, harmonically alienating progressions. In the years that followed he wrote three further 'Valses oubliées', yet number 1, published here in a single edition, has remained the best-loved of these 'Forgotten waltzes' by far.

Features :

• Definitive Single Edition : Features the standalone publication of Liszt's most popular and enduring 'Forgotten Waltz'.
• Harmonic Clarity : Pristine layout design that transparently presents Liszt's late-period avant-garde modulations.
• Scholarly Foundation : Enriched by exhaustive source criticism and historical background notes from premier European experts.

Performance Tips/Difficulty :

Rated at Difficulty 7 (difficult), this piece requires a sophisticated balance of rapid finger independence, light virtuosity, and emotional nuance. Performers must skillfully project the underlying irony and nostalgic character without letting the innovative, chromatic progressions sound overly heavy or disjointed.

About Composer :

Franz Liszt (1811–1886) was the supreme titan of 19th-century piano performance and composition. While his early life was characterized by dazzling showmanship, his late works evolved into highly experimental, sparse, and prophetic musical landscapes that paved the way for modern 20th-century harmony.

簡介 :

1881 年夏天，弗朗茨·李斯特 創作了一部作品，並在給出版商的信中將其稱為『被遺忘的圓舞曲』（Valse oubliée）。這部作品讓人聯想到作曲家年輕時常常寫作的那些極具吸引力的鋼琴圓舞曲——儘管它與傳統的圓舞曲風格保持了一定的距離。李斯特絕非放棄了炫技與優雅，而是將這些特質注入了深刻的鄉愁與反諷，將沙龍圓舞曲特有的旋律與節奏元素，嵌入了創新且在和聲上帶有疏離感的進行之中。在隨後的幾年裡，他又創作了另外三首《被遺忘的圓舞曲》，然而以單行本在此出版的第一號，至今仍是這套系列中最受世人喜愛、流傳最廣的傑作。

產品特點 :

• 最熱門單行本 : 獨立發行李斯特晚期最受歡迎、音樂會最常演奏的圓舞曲精華篇章。
• 清晰呈現前衛和聲 : 譜面排版精美，清晰解構李斯特晚期作品中那些具備跨時代意義的半音階與疏離和聲進行。
• 權威歐洲學者合力打造 : 結合嚴謹文獻考證與權威博物館長撰寫的前言，兼具極高的教學、實踐與收藏價值。

演奏提示 :

難度評定為 7 級（困難）。此曲極度考驗演奏者在高速彈奏下的手指獨立性、靈巧的觸鍵與細膩的音色拿捏。演奏時的重大藝術挑戰在於，如何完美拿捏樂曲中交織的「鄉愁」與「反諷」情緒，使傳統的沙龍旋律與大師前衛、怪異的和聲進行和諧共存，展現李斯特晚期獨特的音樂美學。

關於作曲家 :

弗朗茨·李斯特 (Franz Liszt, 1811–1886) 是 19 世紀最偉大的鋼琴炫技大師與浪漫主義音樂巨擘。他的早期創作以令人眼花繚亂的舞台炫技風靡歐洲，而其晚期作品則轉向深邃、內斂且極具預言性的實驗性風格，為 20 世紀現代音樂與印象派和聲的誕生奠定了重要基石。
