Wordlessly beautiful

»The things I love in music are not thoughts that are too vague for me to put into words, but thoughts that are too definite«, wrote Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in a letter in 1842 in response to the question of what his »Songs without Words« actually meant. If these famous piano pieces by Mendelssohn are a pure poeticization of instrumental music, the melancholy 2nd movement of Johannes Brahms' highly expressive and virtuosic Sonata in F sharp minor op. 2 was inspired by the text of the song »Mir ist leide«, according to his friend Albert Dietrich. Maurice Ravel's highly virtuosic piano cycle of the same name was demonstrably inspired by Aloysius Betrand's gruesome and grotesque collection of poems »Gaspard de la nuit«, in which he expressively poured nocturnal scenes with the mermaid Undine, a gallows and a haunting goblin into sound.
