Translations:Franz Liszt/27/en

There was a period when Liszt was living in Paris, and he almost considered himself a Parisian. But when he heard of the struggles of his compatriots during a very terrible flood that occurred, he rushed to their aid and performed musically to raise funds for his countrymen. He said: “In spirit I went back over the past, I looked into my inner self and discovered with inexpressible delight the whole treasure of childhood memories, pure and unspotted.”
