What you see in the falling notes
The melody starts in the middle of the keyboard with the accompaniment shared between the hands above and below it, so the long melody notes fall in the centre, framed by flowing arpeggios on both sides. At the end of the verse a cadenza of fast runs sweeps up to the top of the keyboard, the busiest second of the excerpt.

About Liebestraum No. 3
Liebestraum means "dream of love". Liszt's three Liebesträume began as songs and were published as piano nocturnes in 1850. The third and by far the most famous is based on his song "O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst", to a poem by Ferdinand Freiligrath: love as long as you can, before it is too late.
The piano version keeps the song: the melody sings in the middle of the keyboard while the accompaniment flows around it, and two short cadenzas sweep across the keys between its verses.

Frequently Asked Questions
"Dream of love" in German. Liszt published three Liebesträume in 1850; No. 3 comes from his song "O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst", to a poem by Ferdinand Freiligrath.
Advanced. The melody has to sing in the middle of the texture while both hands share the accompaniment, and the two cadenzas need fast, light runs.
Yes. The composition is in the public domain, but the MIDI file of this demo is by Bernd Krueger (piano-midi.de) under CC BY-SA 3.0 DE, so a video made from it has to credit him, for example "MIDI: Bernd Krueger, piano-midi.de, CC BY-SA 3.0 DE", and be shared under the same licence. With your own recording or MIDI file of the piece, only your rights to that file count.
