Franz Liszt - Valse d'Adèle par Géza Zichy, S456
Performer: Paolo Bordoni
Count Géza Zichy (1849–1924) was quite a successful opera composer in his day, and was further renowned for producing a large corpus of piano music for the left hand alone (as a boy he had lost his right arm whilst hunting) and being the world's first professional one-armed pianist. His Valse d’Adèle is the third of a set of Six Studies of 1876 for the left hand (dedicated to Liszt, who had arranged for their publication) which Liszt expanded in every sense in this version for two hands.
