Dedication of the Dante Symphony.
As Virgil guided Dante, so have you guided me through the mysterious regions of life-tone imbued worlds. From the bottom of his heart calls to you:—
"Tu se' lo mio maestro e 'l mio autore!"
and dedicates this work to you with invariably faithful love your F. Liszt.
