Description:
Pianists are well aware of the poetic, highly virtuosic legends about Liszt's famous namesakes, “St. Francis of Assisi preaching to the birds” and “St. Francis of Paola walking upon the waves.” Liszt draws on all the resources of sound-painting to depict these holy events vividly. Both pieces are preceded by detailed explanations for the interested player in which the composer tells how he was inspired to compose this music. Edited by Ernst-Günter Heinemann, G. Henle Verlag Urtext Edition, Distributed by Hal Leonard.
