Liszt for fun

[mh88]

I recently finished Liszt's Etude un sospiro because I simply fell in love with it when I heard it.  The piece can really take your breath away and playing it is never tiring for me.  I think I put more emotion into that song than I usually do when playing others simply because I'm so into the music.  What do you all think of this peice, or have you played it...what do you think?

I played it-it was the 2nd Liszt piece I attempted.  The first was Liebestraum No.3..
firstly, its not a song.  I dont hear anyone singing..  I think its beautiful-wistful melody, sweeping-lavashing arpeggios and rumbling thunder in the background.If you like this kind of music, check out Christian Sinding's Rustle of Spring. 

If you like this kind of Liszt, look at Waldesrauschen (sp?) and Widmung, one of Liszt's transcription of a song (that's right- now THIS is a song) by Schumman.  I can probably think of some others
