About the Program
In summer 1881 Franz Liszt composed a work that he called Valse oubliée (Forgotten waltz) in a letter to his publisher. The work is reminiscent of the appealing piano waltzes that the composer used to write when he was younger – although there is a certain distance to the usual waltz style. Liszt by no means renounces virtuosity and elegance, but rather infuses these characteristics with nostalgia and irony by embedding typical melodic and rhythmic elements of salon waltzes in innovative, harmonically alienating progressions.

La plus que lente, L. 121 (The even slower waltz) by Claude Debussy was debuted at the New Carlton Hotel in Paris, where it was transcribed for strings and performed by a popular Romany band.

Scriabin's Waltz in A flat Major, Op.38 opens with rich, Scriabin-esque theme that seems to exude heavy perfumes or remind the senses of flowers slightly wilting in the hot sun. The melody is sweet and leisurely, quirky and hesitant, but can suddenly turn passionate and fiery.This waltz will appeal not only to the composer's admirers, but to a fairly wide audience of piano music lovers.
