In F minor piano concerto Konzertstück as his third start, but a series of movements (including the four sections), as well as its form is different from a traditional concerto, Weber called it konzertstück, instead of the concert business.

Liszt's symphonic poem, a pioneer of this music. One of the segue, and a fragment of a program, as Weber himself said:

(F minor; Larghetto affetuoso): A princess on her own balcony sits, gazing off in the distance. On a crusade to the Holy Land has been robbed of his horse. Years have passed, the war has been, he is still alive? I will never see him again?
(F minor; Allegro passionato): his restless imagination summons her aristocratic husband, and here lie abandoned on the battlefield, a Vision. He died on his side and he could not fly? Falls back, unconscious. The distance to the sound of a trumpet. Flashes when there is something else, such as the forest sunlight.
(C major: Tempo di marcia): Knights and Crusaders' cross and waving banners with the squires, are admired by the crowd. And there are her husband; He was in his arms sinks.
(F head light, giocoso): End of happiness! Forest and wave a gun around here, when thousands of white Voices of Victory.
