How Did Liszt Compose? - Composer Insights

How did Franz Liszt compose and what are some of the hallmarks of his compositional style? We try to get inside the head of Liszt and unpack the first page of his monumental Sonata in B minor for piano, of 1854. We explore the shielding of the home key, the key and modulatory scheme, and the ambiguity of the tonality. The use of the Diminished 7th is a particular focus along with the use of scale passages suggesting more than one possible key. In addition, melodic and rhythmic devices are explored, as well as Liszt’s use of texture and motifs within the internal structure. This composer insights lesson will be of interest to those seeking a greater understanding of Liszt’s style as well as those wanting to develop analytical skills or wanting to write in this dramatic style.
