A central expression of Franz Liszt’s multifaceted creativity was his lifelong engagement with transcription and transformation, using the piano as a medium capable of absorbing the sonorities, gestures and emotional weight of voices and orchestras alike. From the declamatory strength and driving rhythms of the earlier Schnitterchor aus dem Entfesselten Prometheus to various late meditations on An die Künstler, these works trace Liszt’s artistic evolution from the assertive rhetoric of his early maturity to the compressed, exploratory language of his final years.
