		The speed, and the particular pattern in which the waltz was danced worried a doctor in Halle, who published a pamphlet in 1797 entitled "Proof that the Waltz Is a Primary Source of Physical and Mental Weakness for Our Generation." And his claim may not have been entirely without foundation.
		Schubert's waltzes remained primarily music for dancing, and he might describe the same piece of music as a waltz, a Laendler or a German Dance in various manuscripts.
		In "La Bohème," Puccini gave his Musetta a waltz that expresses the joy of a woman who knows that she is beautiful and likes to create a sensation when she walks down the street.

		Here Der Tanz der Dorfschenke is separated from the later, more ascetic Mephisto Waltzes, "Funerailles" from the remaining Harmonies poetiques et religieuses, Liebestraum No. 3 from its lesser-known companions.
		Mephisto Waltz No. 1 and "Funerailles" are shown to be compositions of high poetic content, which is salutary in the case of the former, a piece often reduced by lesser hands to a mere display vehicle.
		In "Funerailles" and with Mephisto he ranges from the greatest power to the most extreme delicacy, always preserving his exceptional warmth of tone, and at every level a fine digital recording does justice to the Bechstein's sound.

		Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz was written in 1860 and is based on an episode from Lenau’s Faust called ‘Dance at the Village Inn’ at which Mephistopheles plays his violin, inspiring Faust and the villagers to dance wildly with the local girls, the music gradually rising in excitement and sensuality by its climax.
		It is the first of four Mephisto Waltzes and a Polka which Liszt wrote, and is a piano transcription of an orchestral work, Two Episodes from Lenau’s Faust, made at roughly the same time.
		Of the Brazilian pieces Villa-Lobos’s Valsa dor (one of three substantial twelve-minute waltzes on the disc) is a crafted but charming work, Mignone’s Valsa de Esquina an attractive serenade in imitation of the guitar, Fernandez’s Suburban Waltz not quite in the same class as its two compatriots.

	Reviewed: Breaking Down The Waltz - [Sunday Herald]
		Chopin's waltzes are said to be dances of the soul and not of the body, and Liszt's Mephisto waltzes exist solely as a vehicle for keyboard pyrotechnics, but they all share the common ancestry of the ballroom.
		The Waltz Album brings together a wide range of piano waltzes, from Weber's well-known Invitation To The Waltz to lesser stars from the Brazilian composers Mignone, Fernandez and Villa-Lobos.
		His paraphrase on the Flower Waltz by Tchaikovsky is a magnificent combination of originality, virt-uosity and almost unstoppable momentum.

		Andsnes turns the "Mephisto" Waltz No. 1 from a tired circus stunt into a tone poem daring in its effrontery and voluptuous in its lyricism.
		And in late works--such as the Second and Fourth "Mephisto" Waltzes and the "Valse oubliandeacute;e" No. 4--the pianist shows us how far Liszt had traveled from romanticism toward both expressionism and impressionism, making us understand how these works lit the paths of composers as diverse as Debussy, Schoenberg, and Bartandoacute;k.
		It is one of my favourite pieces of music, and it was also one of Liszt's own favourites: he reworked it on a number of occasions, during his long life, and was obviously very fond of it (the version on this disc is the no. 4).

		Jerome Rose, the esteemed American pianist and teacher, was a student of both Leonard Shure (himself a student of Artur Schnabel) and Rudolf Serkin, and is a faculty member of the Mannes College of Music.
		If anything, it is with Rose's piano, rather than with Rose himself, that I would split hairs - the Es in the middle range of the keyboard seem to be pulling their punches which, for a piece trading so much on that pitch throughout, is a serious matter.
		The last three minutes of the Waltz are terribly difficult to sustain, but by then Rose is swept away in the kind of meaningful, technical control that compels the musical attention.

		Romantic composer Franz Liszt (1811-86) composed his set of "Mephisto Waltzes" in mockery of a rumour surrounding Niccolo Paganini, an infamous violinist whom Liszt admired.
		An unrivalled virtuoso, Paganini was often accused of having "sold his soul to the devil" for his musical prowess.
		The Mephisto Waltzes are virtuosic pieces for piano composed by a man who would later devote his life to the church, thus (hopefully) disproving the notion that talent and devilry are intertwined.

		It is strange that the Scherzo and March has never become popular, as it belongs to that same period, 1850, which saw the creation of the famous Sonata in B minor.
		It is also cast in the same mould, and is full of virtuosity and the volatility of the Mephisto Waltzes.
		Around the same time Liszt was to compose the Liebestraume, in a much more restrained mood, as three love-songs without words.
