Liszt – Mazeppa, S138 (Weber)

Mazeppa is easily recognized as the immediate precursor of the fourth of the Transcendental Studies, and of the later symphonic poem. It is a slightly reworked version of the fourth of the Douze Grandes Études where it bore no title. Now, with a new introduction and coda, the work takes on a programme: the career of the hero of Hugo’s poem—itself a homage to Byron’s—describing the wild ride of Mazeppa tied to a galloping horse and surviving in triumph. (Howard) Liszt wrote six solo piano versions, an album-leaf, a whole symphonic poem and its piano transcription of this work... He must have loved it a lot. Pf: Janice Weber
