The end of DJ is better though. It leaves, imo, both the penizt and the lisztener with the impression that a gigantic mountain has been successfully traversed.
It was probably only a question of length which caused Liszt to make the serious cuts that lead to the final version of this workâand an intermediate version, with two optional cuts and a new last page appeared not to satisfy the Master, either. But there is much to be said for the sheer expansiveness of this piece in its first edition which, like all Lisztâs fantasies based on music of Meyerbeer, calls forth some of his finest flights of fancy. The greatest difference between the present text and the other one is the long section given over to the andante from the lyrical duet of Raoul and Valentine, âĂ ciel! oĂš courez-vous?â. The whole fantasy is based upon this long duet, which is certainly the finest thing in Meyerbeerâs score, and it is strange to reflect that it was a very late addition to the original opera.
