Liszt Funerailles

Harmonies Poetiques et Religieuses No. 7. This work is the most famous from Liszt's set of fourteen pieces called Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, (Poetic and Religious Harmonies). He wrote it as a lament for three patriots killed in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49 (Liszt considered himself a Hungarian, and the spirit of a funeral march pervades the work. It is full of striking fanfares and powerful clashing harmonies, evoking a dramatically somber mood. There are two enormous climaxes that remind some listeners of the central section of Chopin's A-flat Polonaise Op. 53, and likewise requiring powerful left-hand octaves. Beyond these there is little else of the virtuosic technique usually evident in Liszt's piano works.

i prefer to abstruct art rather than not knowing a difference. no matter how dark the reflections are true peace lies in a mans heart fighting for his own life. the darkeness might be changed with a used pencil. :-)
