Franz Liszt: Années de pèlerinage III, S. 163 - No. 4, Les jeux d'eau à la Villa d'Este. Link to recording at bottom.
Consider for a moment that Franz Liszt wrote this incredible 'impressionistic' piece in the 1835-42 time frame. It just goes to show how the tonal period of piano music was already nearing its end. This piece predates Debussy by almost 50 years, and it post-dates Beethoven's late works by only 10 years. It makes me wonder why we keep debating 'certain things' when Liszt had already turned 'that' corner. PLEASE keep the thread focused on the piano literature. Thanks!
