Franz Liszt - Liebestraum - Love Dream 

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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

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.

Tom and Jerry introduced me to classical music. Internet and RU-vid 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

que hermosa melodía tocó Karlyle

yo this guy is amazing wtf

I can Liszten to this everyday.

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.

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.

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.

Applause my friend

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

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.

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

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

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

Esto tocaba Karlyle 🙀 que bonitoo

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.

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.

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

"Pelo habla..."

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.

Gotta add this to my playliszt.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Why can't i hear this?

_"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."_

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

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 went to the store but forgot my Chopin Liszt.

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

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

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.

Play this at my funeral- or I wont attend

"You think you're a stong boy, 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑!!"

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

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.

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

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 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

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...

this is what I imagine falling in love sounds like

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

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

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

My god, this is so beautiful

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.

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.

I fell in love with love

I guess some of us came for this tremendous work of art or simply for Sr Pelo

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

The sound of faling in pure unconditional love

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"

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

Sr Pelo Pelo Talks official OST

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

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

I must be right with miself: this music takes me out of this world. I think l'm near paradise...

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

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

I’ve been Lisztening to this since 1850

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

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!

I just listened to this for the first time tonight. I am going through a difficult time in my life right now and this masterpiece immediately brought calm to my soul.

The moment of silence at the end was strangely appropriate.

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

Ngl, Pelo has good musical taste

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

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.

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

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.

This guy rocks

348 dislikes? This planet doesn't deserve such music.. Quick Edit: Now it's 791 Almost 800 This is one of these timeless pieces! People, what are you doing?!

Roses are red Daffodils are yellow I came here from someone And his name is Sr Pelo

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

I can not listen to this without involuntarily crying.

Wonderful piece Liszt }:>

I played this song at my grandmother’s funeral😢😢😢😢😢😢

my piano teacher was Franz lisZt sp last student this extraordinary piece of music i remember MY MOTHER playing in our living room in our tract home palace just beautiful... thank 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 :)

We need more pianos in public places and more people to play this song on them

"Opinion Intensifies" - Sr.Pelo, 2018

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