His contributions on the piano and orchestral works are particularly outstanding, for example, he created the form of symphonic poem and developed a rather fully modern piano technique. In addition, Liszt also wrote many outstanding art songs, but which were least known. In 1830, the July Revolution, revolted in France, intensified Liszt’s patriotic feelings. Therefore, Liszt became more cherished to Hungarian-gypsy music and widely collected the folk music of his country and published several theses about Hungarian-gypsy music. In 1860, Liszt used Nikolaus Lenau (1802-1850)’s text of Die drei Zigeuner to compose a german lied. Liszt expressed the vivid image of Gypsy and integrated the characteristics of Gypsy music into Die drei Zigeuner. Meanwhile, Liszt also showed his dramatic musical expression in this song. 　　This report consists of three parts. The first part describes the life of Liszt and Lenau, as well as the compositional styles of Liszt’s art songs. The second part contains the historical development of Gypsy and the characteristics of Gypsy music. The third part introduces Die drei Zigeuner’s poetry and its music analysis. At last, the interpretative suggestions of performance are given.
