Die Ideale is the penultimate work of the revolutionary series of thirteen tone poems Liszt composed for orchestra. It was originally intended to be the final one, since the final symphonic poem followed more than two decades after this work's completion and premiere - which took place on 9 September 1857 with the Weimar hofkapelle conducted the composer.
This new study score is a digitally-restored reissue of the score edited by Otto Taubmann in the sixth volume of the Liszt-Stiftung edition, published in 1910. In contrast so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable, is beautifully printed on off-white stock with a quality cover. Matching orchestra parts and large conductor's score are also now available from Serenissima Music.
