 Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2004 2:02 pm Post subject: Favorite Paraphrases? |
 |
|
What are your favourite pieces of this kind?
And which composers/pianists do u think wrote the best ones?
Imo - i think horowitz and volodos are complete geniuses at this.
Btw, paraphrase is a piece based upon themes by other composers - ie. Liszt's Robert-le-Diable Fantasy, and Horowitz's Carmen. |

Don Juan is an amazing transcription and a great piano piece, I like it a lot.  Other than that, I haven't really heard tons of them. |

| I have many reservations about Liszt's paraphrases & transcriptions, but I shall admit, my favorite is his Reminiscences de Norma, but that is primarily because of my love for the music of Bellini. |

For those interested, here's a complete list of Liszt's operatic paraphrases:
Auber La fiancée; La muette de Portici (Masaniello)
Bellini: I puritani; La sonnambula; Norma
Berlioz: Benvenuto Cellini
Delibes: Jean de Nivelle
Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor; Parisina; Lucrezia Borgia; La favorite; Dom Sébastien
Erkel: Hunyadi László
Ernst, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha: Tony; Diana von Solange
Glinka: Ruslan i Lyudmila
Gounod: Faust; La reine de Saba; Roméo et Juliette
Halévy: La juive
Handel: Almira
Mercadante: Il giuramento
Meyerbeer: Les Huguenots; Robert le diable; Le prophète; L'africaine
Mosonyi: Szép Ilonka
Mozart: Don Giovanni; Le nozze di Figaro; Die Zauberflöte
Pacini: Niobe
Raff: König Alfred
Rossini: Ermione; La donna del lago; Armide; Otello; Le siège de Corinthe; Guillaume Tell
Spohr: Zemire und Azor
Spontini: Olympie; Fernand Cortez
Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin

Wagner: Rienzi; Der fliegende Holländer; Tannhäuser; Lohengrin; Tristan und Isolde; Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg; Das Rheingold; Parsifal

You see now how prolific he truly was in the field of free paraphrase, where his greatest genius lies. Right now, I'm listening to his paraphrase on Handel's Almira. So far, I like it  . |

| Don Juan by Liszt. I like Chopin's variations on "La Ci Darem la Mano" as well, does that count as a paraphrase? Horowitz's Carmen and also his Stars and Stripes paraphrases are wonderful as well. |

Lol Philip, you missed the Liszt transcription of Mozart's Requiem.
I don't recommend it, by the way. |

No, it doesn't; it's a set of variations for piano and orchestra , which is quite a different thing.
