Little Bell

“Paganini - I- I- I can’t go on like this. I need your advice.” I cry melodically.

“Paganini is here, Paganini has no fear, Paganini will write a song from the sound of your tears” he screeched, and before I could stop him he leaped away like a frog towards his violin and perfectly matched the sound of my desperate pleas with a beautiful melody.

“Paganini!” I cry woefully. “Please! I have a family! I have my whole life ahead of me!”

Paganini did not listen. He just kept playing, spinning my melancholy into melody, my harm into harmonies, my tears into a tune.

“Yes, yes, yes.” he croaked to himself. “Yes… It will be beautiful.”

With desperation, I brought out my little hand bell that I carry in case of emergencies.

“DING” the bell rang out - an E flat note. Paganini’s beady eyes lit up like diamonds.

“Hehehehee!” rasped the virtuoso. “Little bell, little bell! How wonderful your sound is! I shall name the piece… ‘La campanella!’”

“Paganini… no!” I’m kneeling now, overcome by despair. “I had to talk to a violist today and I need to know whether or not to find their address and burn it down but all you can do is play music!?”

Paganini paused his frantic playing. “You didn’t mention a violist. I’ll get the matches.”

perplexingly

After Chopin died in 1849, whether as a tribute or coincidentally, Liszt spent some time writing music in Chopin-esque genres, such as etudes and ballades, transcribed Chopin’s Polish songs on piano (”Six Chants Polonais”), and even wrote polonaises (”Polonaise mélancolique”), mazurkas (”mazurka brillante”) and of course nocturnes.

See, the nocturnes are very interesting, because it’s the genre Chopin popularized and became the most well known for. Liszt published a set of three nocturnes known as “Liebestraüme” in 1850, a year after Chopin’s death. They were originally conceived as lieder - songs with lyrics based on poems. I’d very much like to quote some fragments of these poems for you, as a little trivia.

The first nocturne is based on “Hohe Liebe” (“Exalted Love”) by Ludwig Uhland. (Full text)

Drunk, rest ye all in the arms of romance, Yon fruits of life do thee beckon and call; Though on me was cast but a single glance, Far richer still am I than all.

The second is based on “Seliger Tod” (“Blessed Death”) by Ludwig Uhman

I was dead from love’s bliss; I lay buried in her arms; I was wakened by her kisses; I saw heaven in her eyes

And the last one is based on “O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst” (“Love as long as you can!”) by Ferdinand Freiligrath. Full text can be read on Wikipedia. It’s certainly the most interesting of the three as it seems to mirror Liszt and Chopin’s situation.

O love as long as love you can, O love as long as love you may, The time will come, the time will come When you will stand at the grave and mourn! Be sure that your heart burns, And holds and keeps love As long as another heart beats warmly With its love for you And if someone bares his soul to you Love him back as best you can Give his every hour joy, Let him pass none in sorrow!

Later on this poem talks about forgiveness, which in a way seems fitting knowing that Chopin and Liszt’s friendship subsided in the 1840s, though of course it might have been coincidental and the reasons for turning these particular poems into nocturnes only Liszt will ever know.
