3. Lento placido S 172

Franz Liszt

What's this piece like?
These 6 Consolations are among the best-known piano pieces by Franz Liszt. Their popularity is due not only to their expressive and lyrical character but also to their relatively moderate pianistic demands when compared to his virtuosic works. The 3rd piece in the set is in the style of a song without words, where the singing melody on the right-hand moves freely over a smooth and peaceful accompaniment on the left-hand.
Who's this piece for?
An incredible piece for advanced pianists looking for a relaxing and inspiring piece to play.
