Rosario, S670

EnglishFrançaisDeutsch

Rosario, which is in fact marked by Liszt as transcribed for organ or harmonium – from his work for mixed chorus and organ – is as readily justified as a piano piece as are those similar transcriptions which are marked for harmonium or piano. In any event, organists seldom approach these delicate manuals-only pieces, and the harmonium is at best a stop-gap solution. As the title implies, the original works are three settings of the Ave Maria, and the subtitles show Liszt’s plan to convey, with the subtlest of musical distinctions, different aspects of the holy Marian mysteries.
