I discovered Liebestraum when i fell in love for the first time. After I found out what "Liebestraum" meant, the whole piece made sense and it helped me to understand my feelings more. Every part has it's own meaning, Liszt is painting a beautiful story with a mix of beautiful harmonies and some confusing cadenzas. It holds a special place in my heart. Loved the video and the album, keep doing what you do the best ♥
I’ve played this piece for 60 years and learned more about it from this video than from any of my past teachers. I’ve always played it as a love song (dream), but you have influenced my thinking of several phrases. Thank you, my love.
I never intended to learn this piece. Your description/breakdown has inspired me to learn Liebestraum. (My main focus is Jazz based pieces. This will be interesting LOL). The $Thanks, is also a thank you for the beautiful playing of Liebestraum in the accompanying video :)
I'm not a musician neither have musical background, but I love classical music since I was a child and I can say I enjoy this analysis, please do more videos like this 🙂
Great video. It’s really interesting to get some insight into the workings of the piece rather than just appreciating it intuitively. You make the music theory behind it very accessible. More please! 😊
Omg please make an extended version of this! I’m thinking on playing this for my diploma performance and knowing how Liszt composed this piece will greatly benefit the way I express this song!
I love this type of video! Please continue making them 🤩. My favourite Liszt piece is Liebestod ❤️ I hope you can play it one day on your channel, or make a video like this one about that song. The original version is from Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde, and I think both versions, Wagner and Liszt’s are espectacular 🥹❤️. Love your videos!!
These kind of videos are very helpful! I have to admit that I usualy go more for the gut feeling and a little analysis but this could help a lot, develop a deeper meaning for each piece and really make us think!
At the same I think it is important to "put your own story" in the music so the "gut feeling" or what the music makes you feel is really important, even just so that each interpretation is unique.
Dein Video kommt gerade recht, da dies mein nächstes Stück sein wird, das ich lernen will. Wird definitiv die größte Herausforderung, der ich mich bisher am Klavier gestellt habe. Tolles Video, danke dir.
I'm learning it at the moment as well. The second cadenza is far easier to play well once you've played it often enough than the first cadenza. So if you've gotten the first cadenza to a point where it's being played consistently well, you'll have no bother getting the second.
@@grantarneil8142 for me the first one was fairly easy, I can play both the left snd right hand alone at a good speed, but sometimes i mess them up together. Just need to memorize more
As someone who learned the piece about a year ago - make sure you play that second cadenza exactly right (with the same fingering) for a while before you start fully incorporating it into the piece up to speed. I got lazy and was able to play it while slightly changing my fingering, and then ended up having to relearn the section because I started messing the second cadenza up. It’s the hardest moment in the piece partially because there’s so much emphasis and focus on it. Enjoy the piece. It’s so beautiful and meaningful.
In English, we call the 1 of a chord the root, and we call the home base note of a key the tonic. I had never noticed before that the C in the melody is used as different members of the chords as they change. It makes sense that it stands for the constancy of love. btw, you used 2 of the same romantic Pexels clips I used in my last video. I'm going to send my wife links both videos to show her that great minds think alike!!
Love your energy and your expertise! The Poem is the essence of what a love story is, i.e., sorrow, writ large... Personally, I'd like to see/hear the lyrics displayed/spoken (on the optional channel) whilst the music is playing, and I think every pair of lovers should read and listen to it! It is indeed a most sobering thought! lol Enjoy a sub from me! Cheers!
Hallo Annique - super Video, danke dafür. Ein Vorschlag: lass die "underscore"-Musik weg, wen du sprichst. Oder verwende dafür höchstens das Stück, um das es geht. Es ist sonst sehr ablenkend, dir inhaltlich zu folgen und gleichzeitig vollkommen andere Musik zu hören. Wenn ich das Stück mit meinen Schülern bespreche, finde ich wichtig, dass die Melodie in der Mitte zwischen einer Bass- und einer Sopranstimme steht. Sie bildet dadurch das nach, was das verbindende Element zwischen zwei Menschen sein kann. Nur so als Gedanke, ich finde es hilfreich, so dadrüber zu denken. Wünsche viel Erfolg mit der künstlerischem und pädagogischen Arbeit und der aktuellen CD ;) - Grüße aus dem Ruhrgebiet.
Great interpretation of this wonderful work . It's really wonderful to get inside the composer's mind. It always bring more meaning to the music. I'm really fond of music interpretations and analysis of compositions by Ludwig Von Bethoven. Thanks for this great analysis .
Saya Dari Indonesia dan Saya menyukai musik, khususnya musik yang diketuk seperti ini, apalah namanya, piano, grand piano, keyboard, piano elctone, organ, dan paling umumnya di negara Saya yaitu Organ... dimana aransement dan berbagai instrumen bisa diaplikasikan dalam satu alat musik organ tesebut. Salam kenal dari Indonesia, Sukses selalu buat Annique...
I played this piece last year. It was my first "big" piece (in terms of difficulty and reputation). Being 15, I didn't and still don't fully understand the emotions, but I can tell you that the journey this piece took me on was incredible. It is a beauty and I look forward to returning to this piece in the future, with more skill and understanding. As a pianist really looking to push myself, you are a great inspiration. If you could, could you do this kind of video for Chopin Op.48 No.1 (Nocturne in C Minor) as that is my current project!
Like yourself, I prefer the solo pianist version on this piece over the other options mentioned, BUT, I would like to read the lyrics to this 'song' though, IF you know where I can find them, and I hope you do! Thank you for this nice video Have a great day! Your listener, Dan Schoepflin
;Love this concept for the subject for future vids. Could benefit from the piece played in full at the beginning and/or the end but a great vid regardless. Thank you.
Hi Annique, that was super interesting! I would love to have a more detailed analysis of the piece from you, and also would love to hear you play it :)
This is soooo awesome. love how you explained the harmony surrounding the repeated middle c. I would thoroughly enjoy more videos like this, with context and emotion from the history/text and harmonic analysis.
I love this piece. But, have you listened to liebestraum 1 & 2? I think they are highly underrated. They also represent different forms of love with no 3 representing pure love or the highest form of it.
You are talented! Never say otherwise! Every person has a timing to learn a piece. Some are longer to learn, but don't give up! God bless you for trying! 🎵
Thank you so much for this video! Music question for you: Liszt was the one to invent "symphonic poems", and I always thought that Liebestraum was indeed a symphonic poem but recently I learned that it is actually classified as a Lieder. Why would it not be a Lieder and not a symphonic poem?
I should add that the 3 pieces of Liebestraum are based on a collection of poems about love (though I think you mentioned a song so I might be wrong here), so I always assumed that Liebestraum was a symphonic poem for that reason. Maybe you can help me understand
Wow, nice timing on this video! I'm relearning this piece after having learned it 4 years ago and completely forgot how to play it. This will help with my interpretation!
Really good stuff Annique. I've played this piece for years and now understand it in a better way thanks to you. You might consider doing the rest of the piece this way. Maybe give some practice tips on the cadenzas too. Your Etudes are very well done. Bravo.
Jonas Kaufmann's performance of it is sublime! The soprano versions are however not so good. The tenor voice really brings out the potential of 'O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst'. Personally, his performance changed my mind to thinking the song-form is better. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/cBPOwD0O1D8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iUbUVuTNijb2-UIX
This format was enjoyable and educational. Didn’t realize the 6th was the love interval - or had forgotten. The song, My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean, was the song I used in university for M6 intervals with ear training. Thanks for the ah-ha moment today. Yes, I’d definitely enjoy geeking out with more form & analysis style vlogs 😂. Heading over to your website to check out the new cd!
I just finished learning this piece recently so this video was a timely reminder that I didn't really finish it since I don't understand enough about it! Really interesting and useful video, would love more along the same lines - analysis really deepens the appreciation for both the player and listener. Thanks!
One more thought on the opening theme with the extended C note: That it is played with alternate hands makes me think of the duality of a romantic relationship, with each partner carrying their part of the relationship as it evolves, but as a single line.
i love your interpretation! i also love traums even though he's vst, he introduced me to the piece. you are very talented and your style of playing just resonates with me
But for some reason I have always had some kind of antipathy towards works that are played too often. After all, how much music is written for the piano... So I’d rather perform what few people perform. As for this particular play by Liszt, there are a lot of open emotions there. Chopin is still somehow closer in expressing love emotions. In my opinion, they are more elevated. And Schumann too! Schumann is actually my favorite composer! 😍🥰💗
Thanks for making me know this. Although it has always sounded quite lyrical to me whenever I listen to or play it, I never knew it actually has a song version or better still, it hailed from an actual song. A whole new perspective for me indeed.
Wow I just spent 3 hours on this piece… I go to bed and Your video shows up.. should be ready in about a month.. can you share left hand fingering on the first cadenza going down? I am trying different ones to get as smooth as possible. Nice video at the perfect time for me..
Thank you so much Annique for this insightful video about Liebestraum. The biggest revelation for me was the bit about the lover standing at the tombstone with those seven descending notes with him (or her) falling into total despair. I will never play that line the same way again it opens up the notion to me of what it is to play music with emotion so vividly. I feel I will be able to apply this notion to many pieces now to be able to create more emotional impact to the listener. I love your playing and your You tube videos. Could you possibly do one like this on Schumann's Dedication? I would really appreciate that. I will go to your website to order your cd of the Chopin Etudes for sure. Congratulations and keep up your fantastic work. Brian
I'm in the "I'm in love with the details and hopefully gonna play it soon group"! Now I just thought about an awesome video idea you could do. On my opinion there is a lack of good material on a classical piece progression with growing difficulty on youtube (and elsewhere in the interenet). Maybe I'm just blind and can't find stuff but I think it would really be a great video idea! Btw, is there still an opportunity for tickets in Düsseldorf ? I'm a student in Aachen and would love to come to a concert!!

60 YEARS?!
@@zaz-b1o I am 73, so, yeah.
Omg… that’s long.
Welp, after all, the only complete song I can play on piano is “Love Dream” sooo, I guess I should play this piece for another 70 years.

I loved this!! Especially your connections of how the music theory of the piece takes the meaning of the lyrics into account
I loved all those details… I had the notion of the poem, but not that it was part of the melody… now it makes way more sense… 😍😍😍 THANK YOU!!
Great video. It’s really interesting to get some insight into the workings of the piece rather than just appreciating it intuitively. You make the music theory behind it very accessible. More please! 😊
Nooo why does this last so little? I love your interpretation

I never think of a 9th as particularly dissonant. For me it is pure cocktail piano and my favourite chord tone. 🙂
Amazing breakdown of this piece. Would love to hear you do analysis of other pieces.
Nice.
Great video!
love this content only person who will accually explain piano songs to me like im not 2 years old
edit:18 likes i’m famous mom 😲
Wow! What are the chances? I am actually playing this and this was recommended to me!! Thank you for providing your insight on this beautiful piece!
I used to sometimes be able to resist the urge of sobbing to this song, you know. Guess not anymore.
Love these types of video. I am proud to be called a ‘hardcore nerd’
I love this type of video. Good information. History.
Vraiment beau ! Et belle interpretation , avec émotions...
Excellent analysis❤👌
Geniale Erklärung. Super!

Didn't know you were German. Your English is excellent, is it taught in schools there?
I'm one of those who found the shipping exorbitant, so opted for the MP3. I do prefer the CD, so I'll check it at your direct link.
I love it
I think, it is important to know how complex music is and the stories behind it.
;Love this concept for the subject for future vids.
Could benefit from the piece played in full at the beginning and/or the end but a great vid regardless. Thank you.
Omg I love that brooch(?) and ribbon. And the glittery pieces on the collar.
I love your outfit!!
Hi Annique, that was super interesting! I would love to have a more detailed analysis of the piece from you, and also would love to hear you play it :)
You look sooooo good in this costumeeee❤✨

Can you play Liszt's transcription of Wagner's Luebestod from the opera Tristian und Isolde next?
discussion of the role of C in the different chords was helpful. Thanks!
I discovered this piece bcs of Michael Andreas , maybe you know him or heard of him.
Wow, nice timing on this video! I'm relearning this piece after having learned it 4 years ago and completely forgot how to play it. This will help with my interpretation!
I wonder if Chopin's nocuture Op. 48 no.1 has any hidden interpretations within it

Well done.
I really don’t understand anything of what you are talking about but I love to watch your videos and your energy ❤
Definitely like this idea to give background and quick analysis on a piece and the theory touches are great!

Schöne Einführung! Dankeschön 👍 Interesse hätte ich an einer Einführung zum Regentropfen -Prélude.

Yes please do an analysis for Chopin/Balakirev Romance Larghetto. It is my LTCL Exam piece. lol!!
