The Expression Of Grief And The Control Of Skills

The piano work "Funeral"is the seventh one of the "Divertimento of Harmonies Poetiques et Religieuses"(S.173,1845-1852)by Franz Liszt.It is because this work is in memory of a deceased friend that it is different from his other works for showing off his skills in style,which is reflected in the obvious control of skills and the subtlety and complexity in the expression of emotion.Therefore,attention should be paid to the relationship between the control of skills and the expression of grief in its performance.
