Liszt Transcendental Etude No 10 Watts

My annual Hollywood Bowl experience ended this week with the the performance of the Liszt Piano Concerto No 2 played by Andre Watts and the Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini performed by Olga Kern. The Los Angeles Philharmonic was conducted by Leonard Slatkin. On Tuesday Watts, who travels with his own piano, gave a performance of the Liszt that was described by music critic Mark Swed as being played "with oracular authority. Watts had all the skill in the world to handle delicate piano ornaments, and fleeting passages flew by expertly, but always as lightning before thunder." Despite Swed's colorful description of Watt's performance, he (Swed) seemed to lack cognizance of the concerto's form. In his review he writes--"The concerto has a sumptuous slow melody in the middle, played by a solo cello." Swed does not seem to realize, or know, that the whole concerto is built upon this theme and its transformations. This compositional technique, thematic metamorphosis, (developed by Liszt and Berlioz) was used by Liszt with enormous compositional skill in his great masterpiece, the Piano Sonata in B Minor
