Liszt's transcription (S. 558/12) of Schubert's Lied 'Ellens dritter Gesang' ('Ellens Gesang III', D.
6), in English: 'Ellen's Third Song'. Ellens dritter Gesang was composed by Franz Schubert in 1825 as part of a setting of seven songs from Walter Scott's popular epic poem The Lady of the Lake. Liszt made two transcriptions of the piece - this is the second, published in 1838, and makes use of the 'three hands' effect popular at the time, in which the two thumbs play the melody. In Scott's poem the character Ellen Douglas, the Lady of the Lake (Loch Katrine in the Scottish Highlands), has gone with her exiled father to stay in the Goblin's cave as he has declined to join their previous host, Roderick Dhu, in rebellion against King James V. Roderick Dhu, the chieftain of Clan Alpine, sets off up the mountain with his warriors, but lingers and hears the distant sound of the harp of the bard Allan-bane, accompanying Ellen who sings a prayer addressed to the Virgin Mary, calling upon her for help. The opening words and refrain of Ellen's song, namely 'Ave Maria' (Latin for 'Hail Mary'), may have led to the idea of adapting Schubert's melody as a setting for the full text of the traditional Roman Catholic prayer 'Ave Maria'.

558/2, a Lied composed by Franz Schubert in 1823 (D. 774), based on the poem of the same name written by Friedrich Leopold zu Stolberg-Stolberg in 1782. The song is a rhythmic barcarolle in three stanzas, recreating the texture of the shimmering waves (der Freude sanftschimmernden Wellen) mentioned in the third line of the poem. I've used the Salamander soundfont for the default audio, and based the tempo and dynamics on an interpretation by Jorge Bolet. Liszt's transcription of Gretchen am Spinnrade (Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel), a Lied composed by Franz Schubert using the text from Part One, Scene 15 of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust.
Schubert completed Gretchen am Spinnrade in October 1814, three months before his eighteenth birthday. With this Lied, Schubert effectively invented the 'Art Song' composition - see for analysis. I've used the Timbres of Heaven soundfont for the default audio, and based the tempo and dynamics on Yuja Wang's beautiful interpretation.
