Liszt composed this transcription in 1860, and it was premiered in the same year. The piece consists of a single movement and is characterized by its virtuosic and expressive nature. Liszt's transcription captures the essence of Schubert's original song, while also adding his own unique style and flair to the piece. The transcription is written in the key of F minor and is marked by a fast and lively tempo. The piece begins with a series of rapid arpeggios that set the tone for the rest of the piece. The main theme is then introduced, which is a variation of the melody from Schubert's original song. Liszt's transcription features a number of technical challenges, including rapid octave passages, intricate fingerings, and complex chord progressions. Throughout the piece, Liszt employs a variety of dynamic and expressive techniques to bring out the emotional depth of the music. The piece builds to a dramatic climax before resolving in a quiet and introspective coda. Overall, 'Ungeduld (after Schubert, D.795/7), S. 563bis/5' is a masterful transcription that showcases Liszt's virtuosic piano technique and his ability to capture the essence of Schubert's music.
