My Own Comments of Don Juan Fantasy of Liszt

And what does Liszt do to imitate the orchestra at the start? The opening fantasy of Don Juan is one example---he makes a strong wall of solemn chords to imitate the brass instruments in the original score to "Di rider finirai". And just the ornament, Liszt adds the inner trill in the left hand--the possible reason is that when the statue warns the Don that he will come back, the trills represent the Don's legs shaking in fear.
