Imagine how the composer's mind would be blown finding out there exists a medium where his composition has been listened to over 27 million times, all the while being adored and discussed amongst people who have never met each other.

I have two dreams, that one day i'll be able to perform this and that one day i'll have someone to perform it for.

Imagine living in the 1800's. you hear there will be a dude playing piano in your home town. Just out of curiousity you go there, and your mind is blown. You'll never hear the same music ever it was only once a lifetime gift. The urge to hear it again will stuck with you until your death

Keep in mind, back then (rich) people could only hear this once in a lifetime. There were no recordings, no way to listen to music repeatedly. So enjoy that you're living in the XXIst century and you can listen to this masterpiece again and again :)

My 90 yo dad, in later stages of dementia, and in the hospital today from yet another fall, hummed this to us from his hospital bed. So we had to look it up. Music ties us together across generations and even from the depths of dementia.

This song makes me think of two friends saying "see you later!" But they both know they'll never see each other again.

Liebestraum (German for Dreams of Love) is probably the saddest and most passionate of all of Liszt’s compositions. The meaning behind this piece is the dream of love - of being reunited with a lost love that exists in your dreams - only to be brought back to reality, where that love exists no longer.

que hermosa melodía tocó Karlyle

I can Liszten to this everyday.

After like months of practicing, I can finally play the whole thing. I am so happy!!!

Vine por Karlyle y me terminó encantando está canción 💚 ahora ya entiendo mejor esa escena, escuchar la canción la profundiza más

For those who wonder, this recording is performed by Josef Bulva. Probably this the most powerful version of Liebestraum on KZfaq.

Applause my friend

At our wedding reception (almost 21 years ago) my husband sat down at the piano and played this for me, because he knew it was my favorite piece. A moment I will cherish forever!

Tom and Jerry introduced me to classical music. Internet and KZfaq gave me the opportunity to listen to them over and over again. My house lies near the vast rice fields of a rural town in Southeast Asia. Rice paddies, bamboo, papaya trees, water buffalos, ducks, and geese are what we have here. If I lived in the past, these music are surely rare commodities in my place. A luxury for many to hear. Thankful that I live in this era where everything is almost accessible.

Coming here after reading "Define the relationship" and now I'm falling in love with Karlyle all over again🥰❤️❤️

yo this guy is amazing wtf

I have tiny hands and I have just started learning this piece. ... yes, I like living dangerously

My mother was having one of the worst days and this came on the radio, a song her mother used to play. A hug from beyond death.

2:03 to 2:06 I love that nostalgic melody.

i listened to this in my dark room while staring at the dimly lit sky through my bedroom window, and for the first time, i couldn’t believe how beautiful life was.

No song gives me the vibe of "pure love" like this one. It's slow, relaxed, there's no tension or eroticism in it, it's the living painting of just lazily staring into each other's eyes and knowing for this second all is right with the world.

Im a beginner of four months, everyone says I “Have a talent” for music but I really just try my hardest and practice for hours each day. What keeps me going are songs like this, just so beautiful and knowing that I cant play this yet but I hope to one day is what makes me want to work so hard. THANK YOU LISZT.

初めて音楽に心を揺さぶられた 正直大人になるまで全く興味なかったから この音楽を聴いた時ここまで感情をダイレクトに伝えられるんだって驚いたしこれからも聴いていくと思う

How to be liszt 1. Have a long hair 2. Practice 40 hours a day

The last minute is silent for you to sit in awe at what you've just experienced.

I don’t know why but every time i listen to this i start crying it’s like every sad and happy memories are hitting at the same time

I’m always amazed by how well this piece conveys both the intensity and passion of a dream, while also expressing the fleeting and insubstantial nature of the feeling.

I gotta say, for a dude from the 1800's, his hairstyle was ahead of his time.

Gotta add this to my playliszt.

It has soul. It has life and breath. It's like the seasons changing. Words don't do it justice, it stands on it's own. Lovely

Ahora la escena tiene mas semtido con esta canción, gracias karlyle por mostraerme esta obra de asrte 😢😢❤

Why can't i hear this?

I remember hearing this piece when I was 11 wanting to learn it but thought I’d never be able to. Here I am at 13 (almost 14) and I’ve just performed it at a recital.

Esto tocaba Karlyle 🙀 que bonitoo

There's this girl I have a crush on for around 3 years. Lately, I began listening to Liszt and found out about this beautiful piece, and it's kind of encouraging, wish me luck guys

I feel like each note is telling me what it's like to be in love. To fear, to fight, to give in, to love and to live it. To disagree, to make up. To make promises. To be loved for who you are. Two naked souls, together before a chaotic world. Thanks, Liszt.

when I was still child , dad bought an alarm clock, that every hour would play a different tune. and whenever its seven o'clock (pm or am), it played this melody, and 7:00 happened to be my waking up time, which means that I woke up everyday, listening to this lovely tune. listening to it brings so mùch memories

When they say Liszt is only pieces showing off , seems they forgot Liszt composed emotional and beautiful pieces like this

Listening to this piece is proof that music reaches the highest peaks of the heart. Where words are no longer enough, there are Liszt's notes that provoke the motions of the soul.

Franz was probably the first "rock-star" ever, since nearly 200 years ago, ladies in the audience would frequently faint when the heard him play. And he was a handsome man.

Who is playing in this recording? I've said it once, and I'll say it a hundred times. Artists deserve recognition. :/

One of the joys of being human is that you have the capacity to understand music.

_"Life is like a staircase._ _You just gotta keep climbing._ _Otherwise, if you start to overthink it, you'll have trouble taking the next step._ _There are no branching paths._ _No point in regretting the actions you didn't take._ _They say life is a series of choices, but that's nonsense cooked up by the old and bitter._ _Yesterday leads to today, and today leads to tomorrow._ _One step at a time._ _What lies ahead?_ _You won't know until you get there."_

I fell in love with love

this is what I imagine falling in love sounds like

Listening to this as a single person on Valentine's day hits different.

Despite food insecurity and just having eaten a condiment sandwich, this song carries me to sweeter dreams. Most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

I can confirm this is exactly how love feels.

learning this song was one of the hardest things i ever did. senior year of high school, right as the pandemic was at its worst. i couldn't see my teacher during lockdown so i learned everything after the first cadenza on my own. it was incredible to watch myself learn to do something i thought was impossible. everytime i play it or even hear it, i remember that feeling.

Wie kann man denTraum der Liebe schöner zum Ausdruck bringen als mit diesem Liebestraum von Franz Liszt......einfach wunderbar!!!!!!!

i played this piece always for my ex. i also played it at the day we both separated. the pain is still just as reminiscent as before, giving me a longing memory like an image that i knew that WE once painted.

The sound of faling in pure unconditional love

I am crying right now. My grandma used to play this piece all the time. When I was a kid (around 6 or so) it never had any special meaning to me. She is now older, and suffering from parkinson's and other diseases. She can't even walk by herself without falling down, rarely having enough energy to play piano. Hearing this piece again made me sob uncontrollably. I guess we only give value to things when we lose them.

I knew Liszt was a genius, but being able to play the piano through his psychokinesis abilities is out of this world!

Probably one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed.

Play this at my funeral- or I wont attend

R.I.P Josef Bulva. Many do not know but we lost the man behind this beautiful interpretation of this piece. May his soul rest in Gods Grace in the presence of Jesus Christ.

"Here where I live, there is a place we're going to call it, 'Dairy King'."

It's so sad how we will never hear a heart drawn onto piano strings again.

My mom was playing this song in another room on her piano while my girlfriend broke up with me. Very ironic. Lmao.

My god, this is so beautiful

He could be telling you the story of a whole relationship or the story of an hour in that relationship in this piece.. truly magnificent

My mothers old nokia set had a ringtone named 'Liszt'. It was based on this composition. I used to replay that on and on as a child. It comforted me in difficult times. I was listening to Debussy and this came up. Boy it brings back memories! Anyways, this piece set path for me to fall in love with piano classicals. And I'm forever greatful for that.

I was lazy in music school, i did 6 years. My techer said I was talented, but my lazy-self didnt practice. Its been 4 years scince i finished music school. Last year i decided i want to start again, im taking private lessons now, but Im still struggling with motivation to practice enough. I keep coming back to this piece, it makes me want to play the piano forever and ever, but Im on the verge of quitting again. I just want to know what I want to do in life. Its probably too late for me to take music as a career, because i would have had to attend middle music school, but i didnt and still dont. For the love of god, why did I quit, whyyyy...

0:00 to 4:15, "Liebestraum" 4:16 to 5:50, "The Sound of Silence"

37 Million views for Franz Liszt. Not nearly enough for this brilliant festival of sounds.

I am 39 , and discovered the beauty of classical a year ago , this is for me so far the best way in understanding and touching my emotions

Wonderful piece Liszt }:>

When this song would come on the phonograph before school. Only 1800s kids will remember this.

Liebestrom is truly magnificent. Beautiful rendition here. As a piano teacher it's one of my favourite pieces ❤

Nunca pensé que un manhwa me iva atraes hasta este lado, pero realmente lo disfrute, me emociona que pueda sentir las emociones que trasmite esta melodía 🥺 ASH tienes oro en tus manos llévalo a la luna por mi

The moment of silence at the end was strangely appropriate.

I’ve been Lisztening to this since 1850

this song gives me vibes like i'm in an old town in Europe and the clock ticks while i'm sitting in the garden and looking at the sky with stars, this song is so beautiful and gives me a warm feeling i love it :))

1:49 this part always gets me

This piece always makes me cry for some reason.

This brings me memory of my love I never had

I'm a self-taught pianist. I'm still horrible, but listening to this blows my mind. Such beautiful music deserves to be heard by all.

When i first heard this i fell in love, it became my favorite composition. For years my goal was to one day preform this, and in my first year of music highschool my teacher allowed me to play this piece. I enjoyed every second of it, every second practising, i was fully in love with it, and i shared these moments with my then lover. At the audition i amazed every teacher that was in that hall, i was playing with such emotion, fully captivated by the melody, one teacher even stood up after i was finished to hug and kiss me, i was never happier. Then my lover left me in the most brutal way possible, and i broke down, fell appart right before the concert. When the day came, as i sat at the piano my only thought was "i wish he were here to watch me." I started playing and completely ruined everything, i could only think of him. All those years, all that practise, for him to ruin my dream. I can never forgive him, and thats why i think its ironic that i was playing Love dream when i lost my lover

This piece makes me feel the love that never existed in my life

He look like a straight player in that photo tho...... acting like that pose was spontaneous...... prolly takes 12 damn minutes to set up a gun powder flash

I used to listen this song in my moms Nokia mobile, when I was a kid … I was looking for it, for years 😮❤ Masterpiece !!!!

Respect earned, and I hope this song is never forgotten from this world.

I can not listen to this without involuntarily crying.

How strange that a piece with no words can so easily "describe" the feeling that is so hard to describe with words.

One of my favourite music pieces!!!

小学生一年の時、パパがルービンシュタインのショパンポロネーズ集をプレゼントしてくれました。小学生には重すぎる曲と思ったが、音楽の教科書に英雄が載って授業でも聴きました。このリストの弾きかた、テクニックにようことなく好きです。

At first I thought "Wow, this is pretty. I bet I could learn to play this" and then 1:06 happened and I was like "Screw that"

Forever lost in a dream of love

I hope everyone agrees with me here. The depth and the tone of the music speaks loudly to my ears telling me that this the greatest classical masterpiece I had ever heard!

Been listening to it since many years. Masterpiece. I love it. Melancholic. So beautiful and so sad. Sometimes i feel like this music defines me. Laying on bed, and thinking about old times, the memories BECOME this piano. And whoever here loves this music the way i do, i love you

I recently went on an early morning hike, and when I reached the peak right around Sunrise this song came on just as I relaxed ontop a flat rock. Couldn't help but look down on the city and think about all those Millions of people. A child being born and embraced by their Parents, or a Family losing a loved in the same hospital. All the seemingly chaotic connections that are made everyday. Good or bad, and how fragile everything and everyone really is, and also how often moments like that occur for people when they realize how small and connected everything really is when they take a moment to just slow down. It was perfect :)

I love the part from 1:45-2:00, it was just so powerful, so aggressive, yet very gentle. I can feel the love in the playing. I wanna thank the pianist who performed this.

La mejor pieza de música "clasica" que he escuchado, la que más me marcó y la más sentimental. Gracias Señor Liszt, por la magnífica música que compuso y otorgó a la humanidad.

Thank you Liszt for giving us such a colorful piece of music

I learned this song a couple years ago, most beautiful piece I've ever heard. Then I got my heart broken about a year ago, I learned this song for her but never got to play it for her, I stopped playing piano at all (after 10 years of practice), am failing almost all of my hs senior year classes, got into substances I should not have. Hearing this song again after so long made me tear up, but gave me the motivation to fix all of this. "O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst", ("Love as long as you can! The hour will come when you will stand at graves and mourn") - Liszt

One of the most beautiful composition ever!

In the very early 60s I fell in love with the guitar, mainly Flameno and Spanish classical. My 1st album was Sabicas. As an American my musical interests were Country, Rock, Gospel, Classical, and don't even remembwr how I was introduced to Flamenco. Through the years this is one of my most loved, both the song and the musician! I was blessed to have seen him in person in the 80s! ❤

This is the most beautiful piano masterpiece I have ever heard and played. A truly impressive and heart warming composition from Franz Liszt.
