Hungaria (Symphonic Poem No. 9), S. 103 - Study score

The ninth in his ground breaking series of thirteen tone poems for orchestra, Liszt's "Hungaria" or 'Heroic Elegy' was composed in 1854 and given a tremendously successful premiere in Budapest's National Theatre on 8 September 1856 under the composer's direction. This new study score is a digitally-restored reissue of the score edited by Otto Taubmann in the fifth volume of the Liszt-Stiftung edition, published in 1909. In contrast so many of the on-demand scores now available this one comes with all the pages with each image thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable, then beautifully printed on quality stock with an attractive glossy cover. Also included is an informative introduction by Liszt scholar Soren Afshar (Funper), a major contributor to the vast collection of Liszt pieces on IMSLP. The large conductor's score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music.
