Abstract

Lester was one of the most important musicians and pianists in the romantic period. Piano transcription occupies a special position in Lester's composition career. It is of the largest number of Lester's works, and a genre most people know. His piano transcriptions can not only reflect the fusion with the original composition in content, but also can show the charm of the color out of the ordinary in music. This creative technique has injected new vitality for the world of music, which has a very far-reaching significance. Taking "Rigoletto" as example, the paper has analyzed its composition background, material, musical structure, style and playing techniques.
