Wohin? from “Die Schöne Müllerin” D 795

Franz Liszt; ed. Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl; fing: Evgeny Kissin

As an avowed Schubert fan, Franz Liszt was fond of performing transcriptions of Schuberts songs in his piano recitals – and indeed to such great effect that publishers began to take notice. Starting in 1838, numerous such arrangements appeared in print. They quickly spread throughout Europe in numerous editions and reprints. The six “Müller Songs” published in 1846 are, according to the title of the Viennese first edition, “transcribed into a lighter style” and thus offer a good introduction to this area of Liszt's artistry. In “Wohin?”, Liszt skilfully portrays the wanderer's confusion, by having the individual melody notes played alternately by the left and right hand. With his fingerings, Evgeny Kissin offers an optimal foundation for the successful rendition of the musical text produced by Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl on the basis of all the sources.
