An Easy Arrangement for the Indermediate Pianist (~Grade 5)
Arrangement and performance by Henrik Kilhamn
Liszt: Liebestraum No. 3
Key: A-flat major (Original key) + version in Easy key G major also included:    • Liszt Liebestraum No. 3 - Easy Arrangement...  

This all-time favourite piece was a founding brick for Volume 3 of Simple Solutions, and it fits perfectly in the series to present a version without the two virtuosic cadenzas (although with traces of them!) or the thick textures of the middle section. The first section is not that much different from the original except for a more compressed register for LH. After the first cadenza tremolo there is an option to skip the middle section altogether and go straight to the Coda where the main melody returns. This works musically if you want a shorter version of the piece. Otherwise all parts of the stormy middle section are included with accompanying key changes. The texture here requires some octaves on the highest point of the melody, but not the substantial octave work that permeates the original. The second cadenza presents an opportunity to play some really fast notes in a way that sounds virtuosic but is deceptively easy since it’s only the same four note repeated up the piano between the hands! – a rewrite that aims to capture the idea of the original music without its technical challenges.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS
The Simple Solutions series came from the idea that even not-professionally trained pianists should be able to enjoy the feeling of playing great music from the piano repertoire with their own hands. This is possible with some clever rearranging of the musical material: reducing the range of independent voices and jumps while preserving core ideas of melody and rhythm. In this easier setting, you will instead have enough time on your hands (literally!) to bring the music to life and care about those aspect that often otherwise come second: phrasing, articulation, dynamics, and balance. This will help you develop your over-all musicality, which will be of great value in all other pieces as well.

In the end, if you feel ready for a challenge and want to go forward with proper piano studies that requires years of practice – you can always move on to more advanced arrangements or original piano compositions. They will always be there. In the meantime, these arrangements will bring you close to the same enjoyment as the full versions, because all musical ideas are carefully conserved.

They are just a little bit easier.
