Walse in A Major — NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED
Thorpe Music Publishing Company is honored to present the very first and only publication of a recently discovered piano work by Franz Liszt, released in conjunction with the 1996 world premiere performance by Garrick Ohlsson.

The Walse in A Major was composed as an album leaf for the celebrated singer and pianist Pauline Viardot-Garcia, a student and close friend of the composer. The work is not technically difficult. Piano teachers and students will find it to be an appealing recital piece — an excellent study of 4ths, 5ths, and 6ths for the right hand. For professionals, the Walse is a charmimg encore that is certain to delight audiences. Musicologists and libraries will find this new discovery to be a valuable reference.

This FIRST EDITION contains a photograph of the original manuscript at actual size, a modern engraved version, a foreword by Liszt authority Dr. Rena Charnin Mueller, and portraits of both Liszt and Viardot-Garcia from the time the piece was composed. / 1:30 / No. 490-00899 BUY
