Romance S.169
Romance S.169 ("O pourquoi donc") is a song written by the Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, written in 1843 during a visit to Moscow. It bears some resemblance to the Nocturne in E minor,[1] as both pieces commence with broken E-minor chords.
The piece would eventually be a predecessor for Romance Oubliee, which was published about 30 years after Romance s.169 was written.[2] Friedrich Schnapp described Romance S.169 as a "piece of music written in his youthful years".[3]
