Liszt's Romantic piano miniature is one of the composer's most popular works

The quintessential Romantic piano miniature, Liszt’s Liebestraum No.3 was actually originally published as one of a set of three works for piano and voice. Each piece depicted a separate facet of love – this, the third piece, set on a poem by Ferdinand Freiligrath which begins ‘O love so long as you can!’

But by far the best-known version of the piece is for solo piano. Its fiendishly difficult but listen to a performance of the work and you’re more likely to feel calmed by the repeated arpeggios and shifting harmonies of the piece.
