Liebvestaume help please.....!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys......i need your expertise on this one!!!!!!!! :oDo you know much about the Liebestraume No .3 by Liszt. I am hoping that you can answer one of my questions from that> From the beginning of the piece liszt brings down some of the main melody notes to what appears to be in the base clef although the stems are up which usually means they are still to be played with the right hand. Although there are some amazingly long jumps...i am just wondering if you think that it is alright to play some of those notes with the left hand? Take for example the 6th bar(icluding the one note of the first incomplete bar at the beginning of the piece) where the melody is F-G-Ab-C. These notes which make up the melody are in the base clef with upwards stems....If you try to play them with the right hand incorporating the notes in the treble that accompany it....it is a Pain......Just wondering if playing them with the left hand would be considered wrong.
Thank you guys

Those notes you listed are to be played by the left hand. You will notice that in much of the piece the melody shifts from left hand to right hand and back. The notes with the stems up are played with the left hand, the ones with the stems down are played with the right.

Wow.....Thank you very much Jazzyprof. I wasnt sure that i was ready to wrap my mind around all those notes to be played by the right hand. So when notes in the base clef are stems up i still play them left hand, the melody jsut shifts from right to left throughout the piece. There are some notes especially in the first line of the piece that are in the base that actually can be played by the right hand and makes things actually easier. Thanks for the help though , i shall carry on.....Looks like the first cadenza will take a little practice but by looking at it analytically, the upward run is indeed just alternating triads in D flat minor and E flat major.
iv V iv6 V6 iv6/4 V6/4 iv V
Then the piece modulates to the relative major B(major)
---Cool.
Thanks
Should be good to go
