One anonymous reviewer wrote about this piece – “Brendel is sometimes highly successful. He presents what is just a very attractive version of “Au Bord d’une Source”, for my money the best single piece in the Swiss Annee. This evocative example of water painting is done with great clarity and precision and the result is beautiful, with Brendel effortlessly projecting the four (yes, four) different lines that Liszt wove together. (One of Liszt’s signal innovations as a piano virtuoso was devising “three-hand” effects, where the music is laid out to mimic a third hand playing along with the other two. Well, “Au bord” is an example of this effect extrapolated to four hands.).” (jt52 2015) Ref: Alfred Brendel, Bio, Wikipedia Alfred Brendel, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse LP, Discogs Alfred Brendel, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse, deezer (◄AUDIO SAMPLE) Alfred Brendel, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse, kkbox (◄AUDIO SAMPLE) Alfred Brendel & Zoltán Kocsis, Années de Pèlerinage – Complete, Discogs jt52 2015, Cerebral structural Liszt, Alfred Brendel, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse, Review, amazon.de

[What I find fantastic about Liszt is not only that he was a precursor in the use of the piano and that he has provided so many musical and harmonic ideas to other composers, Wagner for example, but that he assimilated what these composers did with what he gave them to go further than they did.] Ref: Cyril Huvé, Bio (in French), cyrilhuve & Wikipedia Cyril Huvé, Biographie commentée, Piano Bleu, pianobleu Cyril Huvé, Album d’un voyageur CD, melomania Cyril Huvé, Album d’un voyageur CD, worldcat

Date: June 16 or 17, 2003 Liner Notes: Keith Anderson Time: (5:08) 4:25 CD: FRANZ LISZT: COMPLETE PIANO MUSIC – VOL. 22 Naxos Radio 8.557364 (Tk 5) Notes: One critic talks about the different versions of Liszt’s piece – “This Au bord d’une source S156/2b is the earlier version of the one eventually published as part of the collection Années de Pèlerinage. Liszt’s earlier versions are sometimes actually more complex than the later published version. After all, Liszt wanted to sell his published music and writing music nobody but him could play was not economically feasible, so he sometimes revised his works for publication making them easier to play and less complicated. Between Howard [see above CL-AS-P2-13] and Dubé we are privileged to be able to compare and evaluate this progression between early and late versions. Not having scores of both versions, I tried following this early version on the disk with the score of the later version and could see no obvious differences in the overall organization of the work except in the final cadential chord which is more elaborated in this earlier version. Other differences may likely lie in detailed textures or fleeting harmonies.” (Shoemaker n.d.) Another critic wrote about this performance of the piece – “Au bord d’une source emerges logically and effectively out of the decrescendo that closed the preceding Ballade. Surprisingly, though, this brief piece (5’08) is given a stilted rendition. On the stiff side, the waters refuse to flow as in Nature (appoggiaturas similarly sound forced).” (Clarke n.d.)

Loc: Henry Wood Hall, London Liner Notes: Tim Parry Time: 3:56 CD: ANNÉES DE PÈLERINAGE – SUISSE Hyperion CDA67424 (Tk 4) Notes: Stephen Hough a British-born classical pianist, composer and writer. One French critic wrote – “Pastorale … est comme un interlude avant la seconde étude aquatique, Au bord d’une source, qui, dans la version originale, venait juste après Au lac de Wallenstadt, les deux pièces étant en la bémol majeur. La mouture révisée d’Au bord d’une source a beaucoup gagné en subtilité et en élégance pianistique: pour partager la ligne mélodique, la main gauche croise la main droite, alors libre de nous brosser le portrait éclatant et complexe du mouvement de l’eau.“ (Parry 2005) [Pastorale… is like an interlude before the second aquatic study, Au bord d’une source, which, in the original version, came just after Au lac de Wallenstadt, both pieces being in A flat major. The revised version of Au bord d'une source has gained a lot of subtlety and piano elegance: to share the melodic line, the left hand crosses the right hand, so free to paint the bright and complex portrait of the movement of the water.]
Another critic wrote that – “His tempo freedoms in "Au bord d'une source" help make this astounding "water music" a miracle of color and mood.” (Anon. 2017) Ref: Anon. 2017, Stephen Hough, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse CD, Review, Amazon Parry, Tim 2005, Stephen Hough, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse, Review, hyperion-records.co.uk Stephen Hough, Bio, Wikipedia & stephenhough Stephen Hough, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse, Almusic (◄AUDIO SAMPLE) Stephen Hough, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse, Discogs Stephen Hough, Années de Pèlerinage – Suisse, hyperion-records.co.uk
