Liszt
Consolation No. 3
"A delicate, sighing melody floating above a tranquil accompaniment."
Archival Record & Lore
Written between 1849 and 1850, this is the most famous of Liszt's six Consolations. Its nocturne-like style heavily reflects Chopin's influence, utilizing a singing melody over a gently arpeggiated accompaniment to evoke profound, tranquil introspection.
