One of Liszt's later and less technically demanding pieces. He composed La Lugubre Gondola No. 2 after the death of his son in law, Richerd Wagner (yes, the famous composer). This was part of Liszt's "Late Period" when he began focusing on death and funeral music. It was also a time where he explored harmony and tonality.

  • The person who wrote that this is a technically undemanding piece never tried to play it and create the morbid atmosphere--Many types of challenges--this one is of tonal color---and sustaining a legato line with only sparing melodic notes----

  • what an excellent post! the pictoral aspect of Liszt's profoundly great music is beautifully enhanced - water, eternity, grand architecture... yes very scary. Thank you!

  • thanks, i happen to find that hotel du quai voltaire i stayed was just where wagner wrote his piece125 years ago but still the room had no key but only to do from outside and i just remember that i was barking to old mr.fransesca so scared that i sweat so much even in octobre midnight.
