Liszt Consolation no 3 on top of Swiss mountain

The Consolations, also referred to by the title Six Pensées poétiques, depict an atmosphere of sweetness and serenity. These miniatures portray a Franz Liszt bathed in light, indulging his pen in the ecstasy of contemplation. The source of this set of pieces may have been Lamartine’s poem Une larme, ou Consolation, which contrasts the “pitiless earth” that leaves the poet inconsolable (“Fall, silent tears, On an earth without pity”) with the tenderness of the divine word which can be his only comfort (“It is felt that thy tender word With others cannot mix, O Lord! and that it comforts Only those who could not be comforted”). While this suggests that Liszt finds his “consolation” in the divine word, these works are also arguably a tribute to Chopin, who had died in 1849, the year before the final version of the six pieces appeared in print. Liszt and Chopin, though rivals, were also friends, as Liszt’s Vie de Chopin (1850) attests.
