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 Rckert & runs: You are my soul, my heart, my ecstasy & my pain You are my world in which I live, my heaven into which I am suspended, my good spirit, my better self. This Schirmer edition has been revised & fingered by William Scharfenberg.
