  Abstract:   After long years of glorious journeys and disillusionment, the mature virtuoso, the “wandering son” finds his homeland and his identity and he retreats in order to create. He draws again on his old muse, the verses of Lamartine, and, in the middle of turmoil, he gives birth to a delightful pianistic page. The starting point was one of his youth pieces, in one part, (1833) bearing the same title that Liszt decides to give, twenty years later, to a cycle of ten pieces. He will create his own “reminiscence”, where parts evoking memories of people and events succeed among moments of prayer of a solitary soul, converting his existence into “a mute hymn for Divinity and hope” (Lamartine). 

 Keywords: Liszt, Lamartine, poetry, religion, piano, Chopin, Carolyne Wittgenstein.
