The Trois Études de concert date from the beginning of Liszt’s time as Kapellmeister in Weimar and appeared in 1849 in three separate volumes. Meanwhile, the original manuscript – whereabouts unknown until recently – can now be seen at the Bibliothèque musical François-Lang in Royaumont (north of Paris). The autograph reveals many details that were missed or not corrected. Therefore in the present new URTEXT-edition, the original manuscript has been taken to be the superiour authoriative source; secondary sources are the German and the French first editions from 1849.
The edition contains also Liszt’s short cadenzas to the Etude No. 3 and his alternative version of the Coda, which might also be interesting for the performance practice of our time.

Early evidence of Schubert’s interest in music of the past can be found in his “Fantasy in C minor” of 1811 (D 2 E), with its echoes of Mozart’s fantasy in the same key. A recurring motivic snippet in the virtuosic “Graz Fantasy” in C major (D 605 A), probably composed between 1818 and 1821, already foreshadows the monumental “Wanderer Fantasy” of 1822 (op. 15 - D 760).
