The transcript discusses Liszt's affinity for giving evocative titles to his works, often inspired by literature. However, his Sonata in B Minor is an exception, with an abstract title that allows for diverse interpretations. The piece's lack of a specific programmatic title, such as 'Faust Sonata,' prevents it from being limited to a single narrative, enabling listeners to explore it in various ways, from spiritual to passionate or virtuosic interpretations. This flexibility makes the Sonata perpetually engaging for both listeners and performers.
