Liszts Libestraume question!!

[rach3pianoconcerto]

Hi Piano players i need your advice.

I just have a queston about liszt's most famous liebestraume. I am looking primarily at his 2 cadenzas. My question lies in the first one. How would you explain that from a theoretical or analytical way so that one could understand that cluster of small notes. What is going on there.  Is it just a bunch of dimished chords. Please explain. Thank you kindly

Please see my response to your same post in the Student's Corner.

Well.

The upward run is indeed alternating, ascending triads in D flat minor and E flat major. In analytical terms, this represents:

iv V iv6 V6 iv6/4 V6/4 iv V

The piece then modulates to the relative major (B major).

Try to make those jumps as smooth as possible.

The next run is of course, chromatic descending dominant 7ths in the 6/4 position.
