The final two works are transcriptions from two
of his operas: the final scene of Tristan
und Isolde and the Ride of the Walküre in Die Walküre. The piano writing
succumbs to an impression of orchestral textures. In some instances the performer is playing multiple lines as if it
were laid out for the orchestra and at other times the writing is more pianistic
creating an orchestral illusion. Carlos César Rodríguez
