Liszt - Andante Finale und Marsch aus der Oper König Alfred, S421 (Soyeon Kate Lee)

Liszt’s arrangement of the Andante finale and March from his assistant Joachim Raff’s opera König Alfred appeared in 1853 (the opera, completed in 1850, had been staged by Liszt at Weimar the following year, at a time when Raff was serving as Liszt's secretary and amanuensis). The two excerpts which Liszt chose show the young Raff’s confidence, and the Andante is an intense and moving piece. The March is more conventional, and allows Liszt to indulge in a little keyboard wizardry, including the virtuoso display of glissandi.
