Schumann, Robert - Widmung

This is a Piano transcription by Liszt of one of Schumann's best-loved songs - written, as were so many of his Lieder - in 1840, the year Robert Schumann married Clara Wieck. The text is by Friederich Rückert andruns:

You are my soul, my heart, my ecstasy and my pain
You are my world in which I live,
my heaven into which I am suspended,
my good spirit, my better self.
