Thank you very much for this. My wife will be performing it (amongst other Liszt and Schubert pieces) at a recital here in Suffolk (England) this afternoon. As I had been struggling to discover more detail on the piece, up popped your excellent contribution. I am eternally grateful.
I first heard this piece at a Radio recital about 25 years ago (I am now92 fighting the return of cancer) I was moved by it so profoundly that it brings tears to my eves when though it is just a recording. The section illustrating the lover's anguish of unrequited love is a supreme illustration of Liszt's Genius. David K
Brian, I'd recommend playing the 10ths in the left hand with a very fast rolled chord motion, more like a grace note than a real rolled chord. Here's another hint: when you play the broken chord, don't change your hand position. Move the whole hand as a unit. Don't let the thumb stretch out in order to hit the top note (that way, you won't get tight).

Thank you.
my hand is not big enough for the cords at the start. Do you roll the cords?

I would suggest play sharp thirds instead of tenths. It sounds a lot better when the sound is sharp, rather than muddy with broken tenths.
