Allegro affettuoso, D-flat major, 4/4 time. This third movement, in which an Italianate, sweet melody sung over an arpeggiated accompaniment is varied and developed, has often been noted for its Chopin influence. It is said that in the middle section, Liszt himself often improvised cadenzas based on the main theme. In the final five measures, ascending chords and a descending melodic line create a unique sound.
