Info for Franz Liszt: Symphonic Poems (Les Préludes, Tasso - Lamento e Trionfo, Mazeppa, Die Ideale)

Both the term 'symphonic poem' and the form itself were invented by Franz Liszt, who in works such as 'Les Préludes' 1848, after Alphonse de Lamartine s 'Méditations poétiques', used thematic concepts to depict programmatic scenes and emotions in his orchestral works. This is also true of Byron's 'Tasso, lamento e trionfo' the subject matter of which was earthly disappointments and divine triumph; something which was later to feature in Victor Hugo's 'Mazeppa', where even Mazeppa's fall from his horse is described in orchestral terms.
