The ''Concerto pathétique'' (S.258/R.356), written in 1865, is Franz Liszt's most substantial and ambitious two-piano work (without orchestra). At least two (solo) piano concerto arrangements of the work by other composers have the same title. == History and significance == In 1851 Breitkopf & Härtel published the solo piano work ''Grosses Concert-Solo'', (S.176/R.18), by Franz Liszt. Though not as popular as the later Piano Sonata in B minor by the same composer, the work achieves significance by the fact that it anticipates the ''Sonata'' as a large-scale nonprogrammatic work. It shows structural similarities to the ''Sonata'' and obvious thematic relationship to both the ''Sonata'' and the Faust Symphony. One unpublished earlier version of the work exists. This version differs structurally from the published ''Grosses Concert-Solo'', thus revealing the existence of interesting material for a study on the genesis of Liszt’s gradual innovations in constructing a large-scale musical organism, which were to come to full fruition in the ''Sonata''. In 1865 a two-piano version was published under the title ''Concerto pathétique'' which, though not differing structurally from the ''Grosses Concert-Solo'', introduces a more effective layout of the musical thoughts, mainly due to an innovative concerto-like treatment of the two-piano ensemble. The initial conception of a projected piano concerto can further be proved by a number of extant piano concerto arrangements by various composers—including orchestra sketches by Liszt himself. While the solo version is rarely performed today, the ''Concerto pathétique'' has become a repertoire piece of the two-piano genre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Concerto pathétique」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
