Schubert-Liszt - Der Doppelgänger

Liszt's piano transcription of Schubert's Der Doppelgänger from Schwanengesang S. 560 (1838)

Heine's text (English translation):

"Still is the night, it quiets the streets down,
In that window my love would appear;
She's long since gone away from this town,
But this house where she lived still remains here.

A man stands here too, staring up into space,
And wrings his hands with the strength of his pain:
It chills me, when I behold his pale face
For the moon shows me my own features again!

You spirit double, you specter with my face
Why do you mock my love-pain so
That tortured me here, here in this place
So many nights, so long ago?"

If I will ever compose some music Liszt will get the exclusive rights to transcript it.

Perfect tempo; serenely dark and absorbing; best heard during or after a large cognac!
