Paradise Lost - Slave

Distracted from the oratorio "Christ", Liszt wrote a passionate and fiery work that falls out of the general direction of creativity in recent months: "Spanish Rhapsody. Spanish folia and Aragonese jota ”(Rhapsodie espagnole. Folies dʼEspagne et Jota aragonesa). In addition, in continuation of the tradition of his virtuoso-painting sketches, “Two Concert Etudes” (Zwei Konzertetüden) were created at that time: “The Sound of the Forest” (Waldesrauschen) and “Round Dance of the Dwarves” (Gnomenreigen). Just the thought of a little granddaughter inspired Liszt to a fairy tale story.
