This piece is really impressing. Lugubre Gondola makes me think of Charon's bark in the underworld in the Greek mythology, gives me the impression of being in this boat in a fog, bringing me to the world of death. I think of Lugubre Gondola as another version of "Isle of the Dead" from Rachmaninov. Those pieces are really well connected.
That's what Liszt specialist Leslie Howard says : "Liszt stayed with Wagner at the Palazzo Vendramin on the Grand Canal at the end of 1882, where he had a premonition that Wagner would die in Venice, and that, therefore, his body would be carried by a funeral gondola". Right after his death, he composed "RW-Venezia", and a little later, "Am Grabe Richard Wagners"
En 1997 una chica llamada lauren, estaba caminando en un bosque,despues desaparecio de repente nunca nadie la encontro hasta el 2000 cuando otra chica llama Mary encontro su cuerpo y unas marcas en su pecho decian: no era lo suficiente hermosa" y ahora que haz leido esto ella aparecera en tu espejo diciendo que no eres lo suficientemente hermoso y te matara!(por cierto la chica llamada Mary murio poco despues)Para poder salvarte pega esto en otros 5 videos.ESTO ES CIERTO
The piece has nothing to do with Wagner. Liszt was inspired by the funeral gondolas and nothing more. All the things you hear about it being a premonition of Wagner's death aren't true. There are a lot of romanticized and made up stories about Liszt.
I had heard about this work a long time ago but never had a chance to listen to it. Actually, I have the feeling that there are indeed similarities with Scriabin's work without the extreme virtuosity which characterizes most of Scraibin's output.
Ok wow now a Franz Liszt piece that is actually do-able lol. Might look at it tomorrow. (Sorry Facebook people for all these lol.)

Such a beautiful piece, written because of the death of Wagner. I hope to play it soon.

This piece was actualy not written because of the death of Wagner. This was written in 1882 Wagner was still alive at that time.

Well i known Chopin was a big influence on Scriabin..
but i feel expansing tonality was in the air around turn of the
century....Debussy..Stravinsky..Schoeberg...Ravel...Satie.
This piece is like a gondela trip to Poveglia Island...so beautiful.
and yet so mysterious..

@scriabinwasmydadTOO It starts with the same spread-out augmented chord as in Scriabin's Opus 42 no.5.
