Perhaps the greatest piano virtuoso of all time, Franz Liszt (1811-1886) also composed much memorable music for piano, including the inspired Transcendental Etudes and the much-loved Hungarian Rhapsodies. The same technical brilliance, innovation and imagination which distinguish those works will be found in the two great concerti which comprise this volume. Staples in the repertoire of any serious pianist, the works are:
Concerto No. 1 for Piano and Orchestra in E-flat Major
Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra in A Major
Reprinted complete and unabridged from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel Complete Works edition, both scores are now available in this convenient, attractive volume. Among the most performed and recorded works for piano, the concerti will challenge and delight any pianist or music lover. This inexpensive edition makes them widely available in a clearly printed format, ideal for play or study.

We have made every effort to make this the best book possible. Our paper is opaque, with minimal show-through; it will not discolor or become brittle with age. Pages are sewn in signatures, in the method traditionally used for the best books, and will not drop out, as often happens with paperbacks held together with glue. Books open flat for easy reference. The binding will not crack or split. This is a permanent book.
