Beethoven, Liszt and Mahler: storytellers in music
Does music tell a story? Many nineteenth-century composers did. Beethoven was one of the first to tell a story with his music. Beethoven's Sonata Appassionata, for instance, seems to be about passionate feelings (but it was the publisher who gave it this title to promote marketing). At the Bösendorfer Imperial Martyn van den Hoek tells the story behind the notes. Listen to Franz Liszt's impetuous First Mephisto Waltz, based on a dazzling wedding scene from Faust. Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, on the other hand, tells the story of a young bachelor who, wandering the world at the end of his path, has nothing more to expect than hurtful resignation. Martyn van den Hoek plays his own, acclaimed, piano arrangement of this song cycle
