This is one of the more unusual volumes in Leslie Howard's survey of Liszt's solo piano music. The Responsories and Antiphons, S30, are settings of plainchant from the Liber Usualis to which Liszt has added simple harmonies. The works are listed in Grove as being choral, but they are hardly suitable for performance as such and Leslie Howard is of the view that various indications in the manuscript indicate that Liszt envisaged keyboard performance.
