From the program notes that Listz would usually read:
“What else is life but a series of preludes to that unknown song, the first and solemn note of which is sounded by Death? Love is the enchanted dawn of all life; but what fate is there whose first delights of happiness are not interrupted by some storm, whose fine illusions are not dissipated by some mortal blast, consuming its altar as though by a stroke of lightning? And what cruelly wounded soul, when the storms are over, does not seek solace in the calm serenity of rural life? Nevertheless, man does not resign himself for long to the enjoyment of that beneficent warmth which he first enjoyed in Nature’s bosom. So when the trumpet sounds the alarm and calls him to arms, no matter what struggle calls him to its ranks, he may recover in battle the full consciousness of himself and the entire possession of his powers.”

Throughout this piece Liszt is showing off a technique called developing variation. He takes those first three notes (the motive) and transforms the context around them throughout so that the mood is changing but the motive (those three notes are still the same). It seems very similar to me to idee fixe which Berlioz introduces with his symphony fantastique.

No wonder this piece was used for German WW2 newsreel purposes, it's so very atmospheric. What a joy to listen to.

SPEER MENTIONS IT IN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY. THE INITIAL CLIMAX WAS USED TO ANNOUNCE VICTORIES - & AS TIME PASSED, WAS HEARD LESS FREQUENTLY.

Not necessarily equating recent US politicians with fuggin' Nazis, but it reminds me of certain political rallies using songs like Born In The USA, Rockin' in the Free World, Don't Worry Be Happy, Soul Man, More Than A Feeling, Pink Houses, My Hero, Barracuda, etcetera, etcetera...
