Following a brief synopsis of their respective pedigrees, the similarities and differences in the musical writing of both composers will be explored and illustrated via musical examples. Compositional techniques will be compared in musical fragments throughout their oeuvre, and deciphered from a didactic perspective, as it applies to piano pedagogy. A study of performance practice in the works of Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin will explore the impact of schools\/cultural traditions and scores\/editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
