Franz Liszt's 'Vier Kleine Klavierstücke (4), S. 192' is a set of four short piano pieces composed in 1881. The premiere of the work took place in Weimar, Germany, on August 25, 1881, with Liszt himself performing. The four movements of the 'Vier Kleine Klavierstücke' are marked as follows: 1. Allegro con moto - This movement is characterized by its lively tempo and playful melody. The piece is in A minor and features a recurring motif that is passed between the hands. 2. Allegro moderato - The second movement is in E-flat major and has a more subdued character than the first. The melody is simple and elegant, with a gentle accompaniment in the left hand. 3. Allegro - The third movement is in G minor and is the shortest of the four. It is marked by its fast tempo and virtuosic runs in both hands. 4. Allegro - The final movement is in C major and is the most technically demanding of the set. It features rapid arpeggios and intricate fingerwork, culminating in a triumphant coda. Overall, the 'Vier Kleine Klavierstücke' showcase Liszt's mastery of the piano and his ability to create diverse and engaging musical textures within a compact form. The set is a testament to Liszt's continued innovation and experimentation in his later years, and remains a popular choice for pianists and audiences alike.
