Liebestraume No. 3

Liebestraume No. 3 is one of the most famous solo piano works of Franz Liszt.

The last of a set of three Liebesstraume ("dreams of love"), its fame so outweighs the other two that it is often just called Liebestraume, without its number, the other two works being completely ignored.

Subtitled "Notturno", the piece, like the other two Liebestraume, is an arrangement of one of Liszt's songs, in this case a setting of the 19th-century German poet Ferdinand Freiligrath's "O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst". The Liebestraume were published at the same time as the songs on which they were based in 1850.
