Composed by Franz Liszt. Book Only. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ12707. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ12707).

From 1848 to 1850 Liszt wrote three piano pieces that were published at the end of 1850 under the title Liebestraume - 3 Notturnos. The composition reworks three songs written between 1843 and 1850 which were also published by Kistner in that year. The first two, "Hohe Liebe" and "Gestorben war ich/Seliger Tod," are set to a poem by Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862): a favorite German poet of the 19th century. The third, "O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst!" is set to text by Ferdinand Freiligrath (1810-1876) who was an active poet and translator. Two earlier versions and a later version of Notturno No. 2 were composed from 1845 to 1846, 1848 to 1849, and 1865 respectively. These variousversions are also included in this edition.
