Zen and the Art of Piano's video: Liszt Les jeux d eaux la Villa d Este The Fountains of the Villa d Este

In his travels to Italy, Franz Liszt was a frequent guest of the cardinal at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli near Rome. His “Jeux d'eaux” — an inspiration and model for French impressionists — describes the stunning fountains at the Villa. Liszt included a Biblical quotation about the “water of life” in the score, and he'd once aspired to become a priest, but there's also a very human, even ecstatic, quality to the piece. outro: Chopin Heroic Polonaise ******************** I try to upload on Tuesday and Fridays, or at least once a week...
