Légende No. 1: St François d'Assise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Légende No. 1: St François d'Assise" was written around 1863 by Franz Liszt during his time as an abbey. It is based on the religious story of St Francis of Assisi, who preached to the birds.

[edit] Form

This song mostly relies on the higher quarter of the keyboard, grace notes, trills, and thirds, though there is a chorale-like theme in the middle.

[edit] Difficulties

Some of the difficulties in this song include switching trills between the left and right hand, quick thirds, arpeggios and switching to play a set of semi-quavers between the left and right hand.
