About this arrangement

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1358432 Composed by Franz Schubert. Arranged by Franz Liszt. 19th Century,Classical,Contest,Festival,Romantic Period. Score. 6 pages. Stephen Smith #942883. Published by Stephen Smith (A0.1358432). Liszt's virtuoso transcription of the beloved Schubert "Ave Maria" is a wonderful work that has never been well-edited--until now! The notation used in all prior published versions had the melody placed on a third middle staff, making the piece annoyingly hard to read; bar after bar had groups of 11 or 12 32nd-notes beamed together, obscuring the metrical units; many bars involved 6 or 7 changes of clef; there were rhythms that didn't add up, and even misspellings of Italian terms! This edition addresses all of those issues, so that players can get down to the real work of learning this extraordinary piece. Liszt's setting of the song's second verse is something of a pianistic miracle: although both hands are engaged in constant arpeggiation and figuration, the melody somehow manages to appear in the middle of it all--almost as if played by a ghostly third hand!
