Bagatelle sans tonalité
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bagatelle sans tonalité ("Bagatelle without tonality", S.216a) is a piece for solo piano written by Franz Liszt in 1885. Although it is a departure from tonality the piece is often considered as a prediction of the direction of art music rather than a part of the atonal movement. According to some critics, this Bagatelle also stands as a fifth Mephisto-waltz.[1]
