5.

6.
Marche funèbre
(en mémoire de
Maximilien. Empereur de Mexique, 19 juin, 1867)
7.
Sursum corda
(Erhebet eure Herzen)
compare Liszt’s
“
Marche funèbre
“,
click
here
or above, with Beethoven’s own
“
Marcia funebre sulla morte d’un eroe
“
from his
12th Sonata
, you’ll hear the
stirrings of Impressionism peeping out
from the roots of Romanticism,
Beethoven
, in
1801,
is firm, solid, direct,
poignant, while
Liszt
, 1877,
is more
diffuse,
improvisational,
evocative, his
is an
idiosyncratic
marche funèbre
compare either
two
with
Chopin’s
“Marche funèbre”
from his
Piano
Sonata no 2
, 1840, as Romantic as
Beethoven’s
still, and as implanted
in our collective consciousness,
where
Liszt’s
more esoteric
interpretation of such a march has
essentially been forgotten
should it be, what do you think, you
tell me
