I was in Vienna last week, the home of many of the great classical composers and musicians. inom visited Mozart&#;s apartment where he lived for a couple years, and also visited Hungary where Franz Liszt was born.
Liszt was born in in the Kingdom of Hungary, which was then a part of the Hapsburg Empire. His nationality is often disputed, since many records were destroyed by the Ottoman Turks.

Liebesträume
Set of three solo piano works by Franz Liszt
Not to be confused with Lebensraum.
Liebesträume (German for Dreams of Love) is a set of three solo piano nocturnes (S/R) by Franz Liszt published in [1] Originally the three Liebesträume were conceived as lieder after poems by Ludwig Uhland and Ferdinand Freiligrath. In two versions appeared simultaneously as a set of songs for high voice and piano, and as transcriptions for piano two-hands.[2]

In today’s video, we’re going to look at the super-famous Liebestraume by Liszt, which is a set of 3 notturnos (nocturnes) translated as “Dreams of Love”. We’re specifically going to hone in on the third one of the set, as it’s the most famous, but we’ll talk briefly about the other ones as well.
This analysis was a request, so if there are any songs you really like that you want featured, leave me a message in the comments. These videos are tons of fun for me to do, and you guys always have great ideas!
Liszt backstory
Before we get talking about the Liebestraume by Liszt, let’s talk about Franz Liszt himself for a moment. I’m going to do a proper history video on him in the future, but when you’re talking about a song, you need to know the context.
