No. 11 in D-flat major, "Harmonies du soir"

In D-flat major. Following an introduction featuring imitations of bell sounds in the lowest register and beautiful chords, a captivating theme emerges over a wide-ranging, harp-like accompaniment. After a prayer-like section marked "Piu lento con intimo sentimento," the theme is repeated ff, building to a climax with rich, thick chords. The "harmonies" of beautiful church bells resounding on a peaceful evening are likely an expression of Liszt's strong religious faith.
