No. 6 in G minor "Vision" / g moll "Vision"

In G minor. One theory suggests it depicts a vision of Napoleon I's funeral, though this remains unconfirmed. The piece commences with a ponderous Lento theme, moving to D major; with the addition of arpeggiated figures and an interspersed octave cadenza, it is progressively varied, transitioning to G major, and culminates in a fervent conclusion characteristic of Liszt's unique brilliance.
