Mazeppa, S.100: Study score

The sixth of the revolutionary series of thirteen tone poems for orchestra, Liszt's Mazeppa was inspired by the French version of Lord Byron's famous poem by Victor Hugo. Composed from 1851-54, it was given its premiere in Weimar on 16 April 1854 with the composer conducting the Weimar hofkapelle.

This new study score is a digitally-restored reissue of the score edited by Otto Taubmann in the third volume of the Liszt-Stiftung edition, published in 1909. In contrast so many of the on-demand scores now available this one comes with all the pages with each image thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable, then beautifully printed on quality stock with an attractive glossy cover. Also included is an informative introduction by Liszt scholar Soren Afshar (Funper), a major contributor to the vast collection of Liszt pieces on IMSLP. The matching orchestra parts and full score are also available from Serenissima Music.
