Abstract

Of crucial importance in piano literature, Hungarian composer Franz Liszt’s (1811-1886) works Deux Légendes (two legends), inspired by two legendary stories about two different saints, were composed during his Rome period, when he was devoutly religious. Due to the fact that the pieces are based on legendary stories, before one starts to perform them on the piano, it’s essential to be familiar with these stories and determine the elements pictured in the stories on score. This preparation will not only help to interpret the pieces correctly and but also affect the playing performance profoundly. Due to Liszt’s great virtuosity along with intense musical expressions in the pieces, there are a lot of difficulties in terms of piano technique. This study sets out to analyze the stories of the Deux Légendes, along with the second legend St. François de Paule: Marchant sur les Flots in terms of technical difficulties, thus aiming to be a source of reference for pianists.
