Op.5 No.1

A nice quote from Franz Liszt's Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, for solo piano. For the meditative souls, "Who are elevated ineluctably by solitude and contemplation toward infinite ideas, that is, toward religion; all their thoughts are converted into rapture and into prayer, all their existence is a mute hymn to the Divinity and to hope." I think of all compositions by Liszt, this particular piece of music, I really cannot understand quickly. It's a very very in depth work. It consists Liszt's thoughts for religion, with its extraordinary chromatic and augmented harmonies, rhythmic complexities and irregular metre, all these cannot be understood within a short time frame. A distinctive matured composition. I think I should digest them slowly and hopefully be inspired to compose my thoughts in life, character, and meditate spiritually.
