Tarentelle is a piano piece by Franz Liszt, in G major, composed in 1840 under the title of Neapolitan Tarantella and revised in 1860. Play presto, its duration is eight to ten minutes. Less formidable than it looks, it still requires advanced piano technique. Startcodify the code
A rumbling beginning of virtuosity follows the motif of the tarantella, while doubled notes and devilishness (we are not far from the Mephisto-Waltzes). Immediately after, there is a large motive, all in size, which is enunciated with force. Resumption of the motif of the tarantella who vanishes in the grave. Middle edit code
The second and central phase of the piece, almost independent of the outer shutters, is entirely devoted to a single theme: canzona napolitana, all languor and sensuality. Note also that, for the accompaniment of this one, Liszt replaced the trivial eighths to 6/8 of the 1 version by quivering triplets to 2/4. Canzona is then repeated through multiple variations, including an alternating game of hands that, according to Guy Sacre, gives the illusion of a "wind harp." Finish the code
The third phase of the piece reconnects with the devilry of the beginning. The ample motive becomes mocking under the action of a strident left that alternates acute and low. He then returns to his original grandeur, and knows his triumphant apotheosis. The end is pure virtuosity.
