Liebestraum No. 3
Liebesträume is a set of three solo piano works (S.541/R.211) by Franz Liszt, published in 1850.Originally the three Liebesträume were conceived as lieder after poems by Ludwig Uhland and Ferdinand Freiligrath.
Liebestraum No. 3 in A-flat major is the last of the three that Liszt wrote and the most popular. It can be considered as split into three sections, each divided by a fast cadenza requiring dexterous finger work and a very high degree of technical ability.
Mozart K332 1st mov.
The first movement is in a classical sonata form, with repeats for the exposition, the development and recapitulation. There are two basic characteristics exemplified in the first movment: the song-like themes and the combination of styles. Mozart uses diverse styles including galant homophony, learned counterpoint, and even the intense Sturm und Drang style
In the 1923 novel Antic Hay by Aldous Huxley, this sonata is the one Gumbril thinks of every time he imagines Emily's body; from his description of the key sequence, he is thinking specifically of the first movement.
