Liszt; arr. Dominique Piana, Two Ave Maria (Arcadelt/Liszt; Scheucker)
Liszt's Two Ave Marias, one the famous tune attributed to Arcadelt, the other an original, were published as a set in an arrangement by harpist Peter Dubez, who worked in Liszt's court orchestra in Weimar. Liszt referred to them as "his Ave Maria for harp", which indicates that he must have supervised their transcription from the piano pieces. The Arcadelt is in a rather modern neo-classical style, while the second one is conceived in a late-romantic idiom. A third Ave Maria, subtitled The Bells of Rome, has been added as a bonus and was also transcribed in the 19th century, this time by Edmund Schuëcker. Each work is a substantial solo, and the third is downright virtuosic.
For the intermediate-advanced to advanced pedal harpist
