Franz Liszt's Liebestraume is a set of three published in 1850. The word Liebestraume is German for "Dreams of Love," each of the three pieces is based on a poem about love and death. The third piece, Liebestraum No. 3, is the most popular and is split into three sections, each divided by a fast cadenza requiring a high degree of technical ability. The melody throughout the piece is the same, but each time, it is varied, especially near the middle of the work, where the climax is reached. The article is meant to be played briskly, with emotion, and is inspired by or reminiscent of night. The poem that inspired Liebestraum No. 3 is about unconditional mature love, expressing the extent of the speaker's love through the sacrifice he's willing to endure. The piece is a crucial example of program music because it references poems about love and death.
Franz Liszt's Liebestraume has influenced many composers, including:
Richard Wagner: Liszt's compositions, including Liebestraume, influenced Wagner's music, particularly his operas.
