10 Dreamy LISZT Pieces

[@charlesyork14]

When I hear the first notes of Un Sospiro by Franz Liszt, my heart feels like a breeze blowing across the surface of a pond forming a new expression. His piano music is so beautiful. I put him right up there with Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, John Field and Saint-Saens.

[@MelodiousHeart1]

I absolutely agree with what you wrote about Un Sospiro, though I couldn't describe it as poetic and beautiful as you have. Thank you!

[@charlesyork14]

@@MelodiousHeart1 It’s funny you mention that because I just happen to be an author and poet activist of 1100 poems plus and 14 books of poetry published. As a matter of fact I am working on my 15th one right now and so far I have over 113 poems for it. Also I was a music student in college studying to be a tenor but after 6 1/2 years of training I opted to become a poet instead. I have always loved classical music since I was a kid and piano music especially.

@@charlesyork14 Hello Charles, I am sorry for the super-late reply. I thought I replied to this comment, but I just saw that I didn't. I am very impressed with your achievement as a poet! I used to read a lot of poetry, though in recent years, I tend to read other types of books.

[@pianoman4036]

Wow Charles I never knew I was talking to a man who puplishied so many books and poems!! I have to say your a fine author!! I always wanted to be a writer my self, im 13 years old and wrote my own chapter books when I was 12, so I guess I lost intrest. I was lonely and unhappy that time, so I did not get inuff motivation and support so I gave up.

I would also add Debussy and Satie. Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun is simply gorgeous.

Your welcome

I love Liszt with a passion, even love his name too. It sounds so romantic… Such romantic music…. he makes me float in the air!!! Many thanks for sharing these pieces with us… The pianists are amazing too: they float and I float with them!!! I wish I could have met my favourite composers, including Liszt. I love them all!!!!

The more romantic side of Liszt. Love those pieces as much as his showpieces!

[@MelodiousHeart1]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@rehlingerdobbie6575]

The Flaming Piano I love them more haha

[@mazeppa1231]

Nice list! :) And there are so many obscure pieces from Liszt that remain unexplored, but are just as beautiful as the more known ones.. Liszt's Quand je dors is a great example of that (/watch?v=lErYKDetSPU)... other Liszt pieces I think you'd love are: *Faribolo pasteur, Ave Maria, Sarabande und Chaconne, La Romanesca, Canzone Napolitana, Lyubila ya, Il m'aimait tant!, Nocturne impromptu, Nuits d'été à Pausilippe, Andante Molto Espressivo (from Fleurs Melodiques des Alpes), Liszt/Dessauer Lockung, Die Zelle in Nonnenworth, Ballade Ukraine, Complainte, Wiegenlied* Auf dem Wasser zu singen, Der Mueller und der Bach (Volodos plays this beautifully), Des Maiden's Klage, Standchen, Angiolin dal biondo crin.... all of them are wonderful.

Oh, what a wonderful comment!! Thank you so much for watching my videos and for brightening my day with your very-kind words. I truly appreciate them.

Truth be told, dear soul, I've been bursting to lavish such praises since first discovering your series of treasures, and the wondrous ones you've introduced me to. If only you'd have a FB page or something I'd comment and thank you more regularly. (oops I hope my searches haven't been too lax and that you indeed already do have such a place, in which case, please let me know.).

@@DrArtieEgendorf Actually, I don't do FB or any other social sites. I'm only on KZbin, as I like to put all my eggs in one basket. It makes me happy to know that I introduce you to some wondrous music. I now allow comments on new videos one week after I post them, so you can comment on them any time after a week. I will always be happy to receive your comments.

[@DrArtieEgendorf]

Melodious Heart so fine. I will look forward to a double opening, to enjoy your latest offering and then, after taming my ardor for a whole week, seeing what little justice I can do with a few words to your lasted sampling of timeless artistry culled by your singing loving and vast heart.

I can't help but hear some Chopin is Liszt's tamer pieces... perhaps he was inspired? ;)

I'm very very knew to classical but Franz "Un Sospiro" i could Liszten to all day. Are there any more pieces, from any artist, with that kind of flowing romanticism?

Listen to nocturne in d flat major debussy

@@joshuatamer9500 I didn't know the Debussy's Nocturne, and just listened and it is absolutely beautiful.

Oh, I just saw this comment. Here are a few pieces with flowing romanticism to start. Schubert Impromptu Op. 90, No. 3, Chopin Andante Spianato, Schubert Gretchen am Spinnrade, and Schumann Widmung, all piano versions.

You're missing Reminiscences de Norma, very beautiful romantic piece

[@MelodiousHeart1]

Reminiscences de Norma is my top favorite Liszt piece, but unfortunately I discovered it shortly after I posted this video. It is, indeed, very beautiful and romantic!

[@classicalhero7]

Cantique D'amour from Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses, would be great for this list. Shame it's not as well known as Funérailles.

[@MelodiousHeart1]

I have never heard the two pieces you mentioned, so I just listened to both of them and fell in love with them, especially with "Cantique D'amour". That piece even gave me a few tears. What a gem!! Thank you for introducing me to them.

[@classicalhero7]

@@MelodiousHeart1 Funérailles was written after the Hungarian uprising, so you can see the personal reasons for writing it.

Beautiful set :) I really liked these compositions, you have good taste! Johannes Brahms you like his symphonies and piano music? :)

Thank you for watching and for the comment! Brahms is one of my top favorite composers, and yes, I love his symphonies and piano music and more. Is he your favorite composer?
