"Wieder möcht ich dir begegnen, S. 322" is a solo piano piece composed by Franz Liszt. It was composed in 1860 and premiered in the same year in Weimar, Germany. The piece is part of a collection of songs and piano pieces called "Lieder von Franz Schubert, S. 558," which is a set of transcriptions of Schubert's songs for solo piano. The piece is in the key of A-flat major and has a slow and melancholic character. It is divided into three sections, with the first and last sections being in the same tempo and character, while the middle section is more agitated and intense. The piece begins with a simple and delicate melody in the right hand, accompanied by a gentle arpeggio in the left hand. The melody is then repeated with slight variations, and the left hand becomes more active, adding more harmonies and textures. The middle section of the piece is marked by a sudden change in character, with a faster tempo and more complex harmonies. The melody becomes more fragmented and dissonant, and the left hand plays a series of rapid arpeggios and chords. This section builds up to a climax, after which the piece returns to its original character. The final section of the piece is a variation of the opening melody, with some added embellishments and variations. The left hand continues to provide a gentle accompaniment, and the piece ends with a soft and peaceful cadence. Overall, "Wieder möcht ich dir begegnen, S. 322" is a beautiful and introspective piece that showcases Liszt's skill as a transcriber and his ability to capture the essence of Schubert's songs in his piano works. The piece is characterized by its delicate melodies, gentle harmonies, and subtle shifts in mood and character.
