Franz Liszt - Zehn Lieder von Robert und Clara Schumann, S569
Performer: Anthony Peebles, Joseph Banowetz

Some of Liszt’s Schumann transcriptions have withstood all vagaries of fashion and have featured in the repertoire of every generation of pianists, while others remain sadly unknown, as do some of the Schumann originals. Liszt’s choice of Schumann seems largely to ignore the well known and to investigate some of the later, most intimate works. Andersen’s ‘Christmas Song’ is really a very simple hymn, and ‘The Changing Bells’ is a straightforward setting of a little moral fable by Goethe in which a recalcitrant boy is frightened by a dream of bells into going to church as his mother has told him. Liszt does not seek to elaborate in any way in these ten songs of Robert and Clara—often giving almost the original piano accompaniment in small type with the vocal line in full-size notation distributed between the two hands. Fallersleben’s ‘Coming of Spring’ , Schiller’s ‘The Cowherd’s Farewell’ (which Liszt set before Schumann did), and Mörike’s ‘The Spring it is’ tell their tales in their titles, and Goethe’s ‘None but the lonely heart’ requires no introduction, and ‘I shall creep from door to door’ is the third of the evocatively miserable Harper’s Songs which were first well known in Schubert’s settings.
