Carl Maria Von Weber - Op. 79 - Concertstuck

Book Size: 8 1/2" x 11" * * * * * * From the Editor's Note The Pianoforte has since Weber's time been greatly improved both in quality and Volume of tone; this improvement, however, necessitated a somewhat heavier action and a considerable lowering of the dip (or "fall") of the keys which makes glissandos in octaves, occurring in this piece, practically impossible. Liszt, recognizing this, has suggested some very acceptable substitutes. For the glissando in "Tempo di Marcia" page 23, he proposes regular octave scales for both hands and-to break the overly long interruption of the solo parts- he suggests that the soloist should join the orchestra in the second repetition of the March as follows. The place referred to comprises the measures between A= and =B.
