Narcissus (music) Narcissus is a piece of music composed for the piano in 1891 by Ethelbert Nevin. It is fourth of the five pieces in the suite "Water Scenes". The composer recalled the Greek myth of Narcissus and, upon rereading the story, the music came quickly. The first draft was written immediately and was revised after a break for dinner. It was then sent for publication as the composer was so confident in the work that he did not play it until receiving the proofs. When published, it was a great success, selling over 125,000 copies of sheet music and has been a musical standard ever since.

Weihnachtsbaum (Liszt) Weihnachtsbaum (English: "Christmas Tree"; French: "Arbre de Noël") is a suite of 12 pieces written by Franz Liszt in 1873–76, with revisions in 1881. The suite exists in versions for solo piano and piano four-hands. "Weihnachtsbaum" does not demand great virtuosity, and it has been described as a distant relation of Schumann's "Kinderszenen" and Debussy's "Children's Corner". It occupies an unusual place in Liszt's output, and it may be for these reasons that it has received relatively little attention from performers.
