A Pianoforte Interlude

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

By CECIL DixoN
Two Impromptus, Op. 90, Nos. 3 and 4; Two Moments Musicals, Nos. 2 and 3; Valse Impromptu ............ Liszt
THESE are amongst the shorter pieces in Liszt's extensive list of pianoforte compositions, and among the very few whose titles do not immediately suggest that they were written to a programme. Not, however, that they can be regarded as abstract music, a medium rarely employed by Liszt, and an' atmosphere ' of some sort may be implied. The greater number of Liszt's pianoforte pieces are specifically labelled, as, for example, the ' Consolations ' and the ' Apparition '.
