Liebestraume means “Dream of Love” in German, and was originally a song by Franz Liszt written for piano and voice. {Music here} http://petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/3/3a/IMSLP60361-PMLP11980-Liszt_Musikalische_Werke_7_Band_2_28.pdf
But Liszt had a (not necessarily) bad habit. He would re-arrange everyone’s music for different instruments, and this included radical embellishing of vocal songs. From Mozart to Mendelssohn, no composer has escaped from having Liszt’s astounding technicality alter and typically ameliorate their pieces. Liszt was one of the most popular performers ever, achieving fame to surpass the Beatles or Micheal Jackson . Women would faint and fight over anything he had touched during his performances, which were incidentally the first piano recitals as we know them. He was the first rockstar ever to flip his shoulder-length hair during performances. Liszt is responsible for the traditions of performers playing from memory, which was considered “arrogant”, even by Chopin, and turning the piano sideways to the audience, so that that they could see all the exaggerated motions, flying fingers, and facial expressions. The closest pianist we have to Franz today would be the Chinese virtuoso Lang Lang, who is been nicknamed “Bang Bang” for his pyrotechnical interpretations.
