Great playing! This is such a nice piece and you play it perfectly. I'm trying to learn it myself but I can't master the trills at 3:50. Could you tell what fingering you used here? Thanks!

[PianoDavidZaks]

Thank you @at5102! I really appreciate the compliments.

The fingering: 4,5 (top) / 1,2 (bottom)

Good luck!

I like this song, but it reminds me of Chopin more than Liszt.

i have been searching for a wonderful interpretation like this. i can't even find a recording at my library (small towns...sigh) but this more than makes up for it. just beautiful! such feeling. this piece seems to fall behind the shadow of liebestraume #3, unfortunately. the tenderness of the 'dreams of love' is much more noticeable here than its stronger relative, the #3. you play with such grace and feeling :). wonderful job

What are you doing there? God bless your back

@PianoDavidZaks

I'd rather use 34 (top) and 12 (bottom) on those trills unless hand span won't allow for the stretch.

@marginallymental <3 :) congratz!*&!@#$%%*.

[marginallymental]

@pianonger, ok, ok, I cry uncle! :-)) I let my taste get in the way of my reasoning, I guess! And since I end up apologizing to my poor benighted piano teacher almost weekly, I'll accept your rebuke.  But apologize to Liszt? Hmmm...Given that I can barely play this piece myself, perhaps I should. Sorry, Liszt!

[pianonger]

@marginallymental #3 Isn't clunky... It's a dream, a love song. Throughout Liebestraum No. 3, there are three different types a love. A love with a crush, the kind of love that happens at night, and a tenderly baby love that cradles the exact same melody. I think you owe a big apology to yourself, Liszt himself, your piano teacher, and all of your peers for calling Liszt's composition "clunky". Liebestraum truly shows how great of a composer Liszt was. Try to create a song with only one theme.

5:47 looks so much like schumann arabesque xD

@OrangeSodaKing which do u use, i mean if you try with left pedal you get the true sound. i use henle. by the way u need to try playing it a bit faster and a tiny bit clearer

my teacher says that un corda means left pedal and it sounds very nice. but i like your expression
