Analysis of Franz Liszt's Liebestraum No. 3 from his three Nocturnes for piano (1850). Pianist is Daniel Barenboim (   • Liszt: Liebestraum No. 3, Notturno (Barenb...  ).
Inspired by Sylvie-Anne Ménard (but I really cannot draw), please look her up if you didn't already:    • Mozart et les fonctions harmoniques, part III  

The analysis method I chose is a combination of scale degrees and general bass (thorough bass) figures: Harmony is the result of the intervals over the bass note (no matter if the bass and the root note are identical). And each bass note is put into relation with the (actual or assumed) key of the phrase, marked in encircled arabic numerals.
The results presented in this analysis are neither universal nor do they claim to be the only correct solution. But as one can see, it really works well with the piece for the most part, which corresponds with the fact that Franz Liszt grew musically up in a surrounding where general bass thinking was still a quite common composing, teaching, and analysis method.
