Consolation No.2 in E major
Consolation Piano solo
In brief

This piece emits a gentle and melancholic atmosphere, marked by its lyrical and introspective lineage. The student will encounter technical challenges such as the flow of phrasing and the management of expressive nuances, which are essential to bringing out the emotional depth of the piece. Composed during a romantic period rich in emotional explorations, Liszt's music reflects a desire for intimate connection with the listener, which is very present in this 'Consolation'.
