Liszt: At the Piano

Franz Liszt is still regarded as one of the greatest pianists of all time: a superb virtuoso whose own piano works also bristle with extreme technical difficulties. But no one needs to be afraid of big names. Our carefully chosen selection from Liszt's immense oeuvre ranges here from the easy to the moderately difficult. These pieces are truly charming, and well-suited for “ordinary mortals.” And for those who reach the end of the volume, there's a worthwhile reward: perhaps Liszt's best-known piano piece, the third “Liebestraum.”
