Sophie Menter/Franz Liszt ‒ Hungarian Gypsy Melodies

Sophie Menter (1846 - 1918), Ungarische Zigeunerweisen (Concerto in the Hungarian Style), (1885) Performed by Janina Fialkowska piano, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (2000) Sophie Menter (29 July 1846 — 23 February 1918) was a German pianist and composer who became the favorite female student of Franz Liszt. She was called l'incarnation de Liszt in Paris because of her robust, electrifying playing style and was considered one of the greatest piano virtuosos of her time. She died at Stockdorf, near Munich. Ungarische Zigeunerweisen (Konzert im ungarischen Styl), Hungarian Gypsy Melodies (Concerto in the Hungarian Style), is a single-movement work for piano and orchestra of about 17 minutes' duration by Sophie Menter (a renowned pianist in her day, Franz Liszt's favourite female student, and a composer of salon trifles). The work was written in 1885 (with possible help from Liszt), was orchestrated by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1892, and first performed by Menter (with Tchaikovsky conducting) in 1893. The work is listed in Liszt's catalogue as S.714 (recently renumbered as S.126a) on account of his possible involvement. It is not known whether Tchaikovsky played any part in the actual composition, but towards the coda there is a harmonic sequence very familiar from Tchaikovsky's concertos. The musical substance of the piece is not particularly Lisztian. Its overt "virtuoso" style is one which Liszt had abandoned decades previously. Further, the piano part overuses certain unsubtle effects which do not bear comparison with Liszt's piano writing ostensibly in a similar vein. But if Menter really collected the themes, (which are unknown in Liszt's works - although they are similar in style to melodies found in some of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies or the Ungarischer Romanzero) and if Liszt helped to arrange the short score, then his possible collaboration may be conceded.
