Les Préludes

While still in Weimar, Carl Tausig transcribed for piano Liszt's symphonic poems as well as the Dante and Faust symphonies. These manuscripts, left unfinished to a greater or lesser extent, have remained unpublished. As a matter of fact, three manuscripts of the eleven transcriptions of symphonic poems are missing. Of Tausig's transcriptions of Liszt's works the present volume makes Les préludes available to a wider public in a printed edition.
