Bellini / Liszt - Hexaméron, Morceau de concert S.392 | Piano Tutorial

Hexaméron, Morceau de concert S.392 is a collaborative composition for solo piano. It consists of six variations on a theme, along with an introduction, connecting interludes and a finale. The theme is the "March of the Puritans" from Vincenzo Bellini's opera I puritani. Princess Cristina Trivulzio Belgiojoso conceived the piece in 1837 and persuaded Franz Liszt to assemble a set of variations of the march along with five of his pianist-friends. Liszt composed the introduction, second variation, connecting sections and finale, and integrated the piece into an artistic unity. Five well-known composer-performers each contributed one variation: Frédéric Chopin, Carl Czerny, Henri Herz, Johann Peter Pixis and Sigismond Thalberg. (Wikipedia) Hexaméron is divided into nine parts: Introduction: Extremement lent (Liszt) - 0:00 Tema: Allegro marziale (transcribed by Liszt) - 2:56 Variation I: Ben marcato (Thalberg) - 4:05 Variation II: Moderato (Liszt) - 4:56 Variation III: di bravura (Pixis) - Ritornello (Liszt) - 7:04 Variation IV: Legato e grazioso (Herz) - 8:46 Variation V: Vivo e brillante (Czerny) - Fuocoso molto energico; Lento quasi recitativo (Liszt) - 10:02 Variation VI: Largo (Chopin) - (coda) (Liszt) - 12:41 Finale: Molto vivace quasi prestissimo (Liszt) - 14:36 Midi file - https://musescore.com/classicman/hexa...
