Liebestraum No. 3. Translating into English as 'Love Dream', this piece is arguably one of Liszt's most beautiful works, and along with Un Sospiro, is a personal favorite of mine. It's amazing that through his music we can feel the emotions that Liszt felt back in 1850 as if it were yesteday. Since Valentine's day is coming up this week, I couldn't think of a better piece to perform for you. Enjoy ♥

Do you want a mid-week video this week?

I've spent months learning this, and I was almost done, so that I could play it for my girlfriend. But she broke up with me a few days ago and now I don't get to play it for her. It hurts to listen now, but this is such a gorgeous piece.

[marker]

0:00 Wow, what a beautiful piece that could be learned by beginners!
1:55 Oh right, it's Liszt

[blairsimmons]

Mother played it every night. Never had a lesson. Her heart could play it even when she lost hearing. What a great gift.

That is the musical manifestation of a smile.

To everyone who wants to learn this beautiful song, don’t be phased. I’m learning it right now and not gonna lie, at one point I thought I’d die but it really gets a lot better once you get past the third page. Literally the only hard page is the third page, the rest isn’t too bad. It’s actually really fun to learn and it sounds gorgeous so don’t give up!!

When I found this piece four years ago, I was on the verge of of quitting piano for good because I had lost all passion and want for it and was completely done with it.

Before I was about to throw my keyboard away I began briefly listening to a few songs on it before getting rid of it for good. I was scrolling and skipping most songs but then I came to this one. It immediately caught my interest like no other piano song had done before. It was only a snippet of the beginning of the song, but I still loved it. I listened to it again and again before deciding to search it up on YouTube. I found a few videos and orchestras but I didn’t really like them and was ready to give up and forget about this song.

But then I found this video.

It was like nothing I had ever seen before. I had never seen the piano played in such a way, with such emotion and grace. I never knew such sounds could come from a piano, let alone from 2 small hands and 10 skinny fingers. I was in love. I listened to it back to back to back for weeks and never got sick of it. I got chills (and still do get chills) ever time I hear the climax of the song.

This song single-handily reignited my passion for piano. It inspired me to keep going, so that maybe one day I could learn this song and maybe play it as beautifully as you have. I have now finally begun my journey to conquer this song.

Piano is now one of my most favourite things in this whole world. I genuinely could not live without it, and to think I was even considering giving it up. I have come so far as a pianist and while I do have a bit to go, I’m proud to be apart of this community.

Thank you for this. Thank you for showing me how incredible piano can be.

From what I remember, Liszt wrote this having in mind the message of "loving, and loving again, even when the object of your love has drifted away from you" - as he was a man of many sorrows, with his wife passing away, then both his children passing away, and falling into a depression as a result. But he tried to live on and continue to love through life despite all these sorrows, which have probably given this piece such a greater depth to the word "love"... Liszt eventually became a monk, which we may now see as evidence of how this man struggled to continue loving, even God, to a point that his love matured beyond what initial stages of young love can aspire to.

GUYS I HAVE DONE IT. I have learned the entire piece after motivating myself by watching this video for 3 straight months. After a lot of practice, I am proud to say that I can play it.

Liebestraum (German for Dreams of Love) is probably the saddest and most passionate of all of Liszt’s compositions. The meaning of this song is the dream of love – of being reunited with a lost love that exists in your dreams – only to be brought back to reality, where that love exists no longer.

[pacogonzalez]

I did it after learning piano for 1 year and 7 months practicing every day. I decided to learn this piece about two weeks ago, my dream when I started to learn piano was to play this one day and here I am able to play the whole piece, I did it :)

[nfal]

1:57 is my favorite part of any piano song ever. It portrays yearning while also producing a euphoric cacophony of notes that causes my hairs to rise.

i love how everyone has such meaningful stories about this and i came from define the relationship

[Lucabistrong]

When I hear this piece, I imagine a love story
0:05 You’re sitting at a coffee shop, minding your own business, when suddenly.

0:30 You see the most beautiful woman.

0:41 You contemplate approaching her, cycling through different possible pick up lines until.

0:49 You get up out of your seat. You’re gonna do it. You’re gaining confidence. But then.

1:00 You start to panic. What if she says no? What if you trip? What if you spill her coffee on her? You arrive at her table.

1:06 After you use one of your corny pickup lines to lighten the mood, you ask her out.

1:17 She pauses. She looks stunned at first. A million thoughts are flying through you’re head. Until.

1:27 That one word comes out of her mouth: Yes.

1:33
She said yes. She said yes? She said yes! You can’t believe she said yes! You walk back to your table to grab your coffee and back to hers. You sit down with her and start talking. You have a lot in common with her. She’s a musician, just like you. You love that.

1:58 You go home that night thrilled. You’re dog doesn’t know why you’re so excited but loves it. You can’t wait to go on your second date. You start to plan it out and think about where to go. You even go as far as making up scenarios for yourself about what could happen. You start talking to your dog about it because you’re so happy

2:03
It’s the second date. It’s even better than you thought it would be. You’re going hiking with her.

2:14 You’ve gone on so many dates now you can’t even count. You’ve gone to all of her concerts and she’s been to all of yours. You’ve moved in together.

2:20 You really think she’s the one. You’ve gone out to buy an engagement ring. You’re going out with her tonight at the best restaurant in town. You’re gonna ask her at dinner. You’re nervous but excited

2:27 You finally pop the question. She’s overwhelmed with emotion and can’t even speak

2:31 She says yes a thousand times over. You’re overcome with joy. You’re going to be a husband and maybe even a father. Your mind is racing, thinking about the wedding location, how many kids you’re going to have, but suddenly

2:39 Fantasy falls away like shattering glass, revealing reality. You’re experiencing so many emotions at once, sadness, grief, confusion

2:54 You’re back at the coffee shop. Nothing has changed, except the temperature of your coffee. You look over at the woman. She’s still there, but isn’t looking at you. You’re sad but you don’t have the guts to walk up to her.

3:12 You ask for the check and walk home, thinking about what you two could’ve become. What you thought you two became. The opportunity you missed.

3:46 Your door shuts behind you as you arrive home. You’re dog runs to see you, his tail wagging. However, he notices your discontent and looks concerned, trying to cheer you up

4:02 That night, as you lay in bed. You think about what happened today, and come to terms with it. You were sad, but you were sad about something that never even happened. You sleep soundly, content with the fact that there is always tomorrow.

[honey-onoo]

As a normal person this song makes me want to fall in love but as a pianist this song makes me want to die.

[IanEunchanKim]

It's so sad that Chopin didn't heard this. Frederic Chopin (1810-1849). This composed in 1850.

[CougheePls]

Omg, I fell in love with that little moment at 3:25, especially the E flat at 3:27, and the D flat at 3:33. It's the highlight of the piece for me

[Rousseau]

Will you share this video with a special someone on Valentine's day?

[anonymous]

This was my grandma's and grandpa's house phone ringtone. When I was younger, and I would visit their house I would be excited to hear this. Now everytime I hear this reminds me of them and their house :)
