Mephisto-Walzer

Album by Franz Liszt & Cyprien Katsaris

Mephisto-Walzer is a solo piano composition by Franz Liszt, composed in 1859. The piece pairs virtuosic, often theatrical piano writing with a dance-like waltz pulse and programme-inspired chromaticism, and it represents a period in Liszt's career where he pursued large-scale, narrative-driven works that contributed to developments in the late-Romantic and early modern piano repertoire.
