Liszt – Valse-Impromptu / Petite Valse Favorite – Piano Solo

Valse-Impromptu / Petite valse favorite presents three versions of one of Liszt’s charming and technically demanding waltzes. This scholarly edition is particularly useful for advanced pianists and teachers because it allows comparison of the different versions of the work.

Works Included
Petite valse favorite / Souvenir de Saint-Pétersbourg, S.212
Petite valse favorite, an earlier version
Valse-Impromptu, S.213 – the later version

The earliest surviving version dates from 1842, when Liszt wrote it into the diary of Tsaritsa Alexandra Feodorovna during his visit to St Petersburg. A more technically demanding version followed in 1843, and the final Valse-Impromptu version appeared in 1853.
