If you have headphones you can hear the pianist's breath and the related emotions. Wonderful.

[@voaneves]

No need for headphones tho, very emotional indeed.

you are delusional.

I don't have headphones, and I can hear it.

[@beckst3r]

he literally chose the keys E major and Ab major, which are super far apart from each other, making it the hard to transition into. yet, he still pulls it off. what a legend.

[@richard_johnsen]

Not to be one of those guys but... This is actually a conventional common-tone modulation - using the third of the home key as the root of the new one (G#/Ab). So whilst you are right in that the two keys are distant (functionally speaking), the tonic of the new key (Ab) is essentially a tonal recontextualization of the third - this enables a more seamless transition between (seemingly) unrelated keys. Nevertheless, Liszt was certainly pushing the harmonic boundaries of the time. Apologies for the pretentiousness, hope you have a pleasant day.

[@treesny]

The three Liebesträume (Love Dreams) are Liszt's transcriptions for piano solo of his earlier settings for high voice and piano of poems by Johann Ludwig Uhland (Nos. 1 & 2) and Ferdinand Freiligrath (No. 3, the most famous one). For some reason this video omits the title of No. 2, "Gestorben was ich." In the translation by Richard Stokes used in the Hyperion 6 CD edition of Liszt's songs: "I lay dead / From love's bliss; / I lay buried / In her arms; / I was wakened / By her kisses; / I saw heaven / In her eyes." Here's the original song: ua-cam.com/video/_DTtU9TxVrc/v-deo.html
