Other numbers of this set are almost equally interest- ing, but I have not space for more of them. This one will serve as a good example, and I may add that it was regarded by Liszt himself as the best of his piano compositions. A little French poem from Liszt's own pen, which 198 Descriptive Analyses of Piano Works stands as motto at the head of this music, sums up its significance. I append a nearly literal translation. "Whence comes, O ray God, this sweet peace that surrounds My glad heart ?... And this faith that within me abounds ? To me who, uncertain, in anguish of mind, On an ocean of doubt tossed about by each wind, Was seeking for truth in the dreams of the sage, And for peace, among hearts that were chafing with rage. A sudden there flashed on my soul from above A vision of glorified heavenly love ; It seemed that an age and a world passed away And I rise, a new map, U ujc, y a new day.
