''Les quatre éléments'' (''The Four Elements''), is a cycle of four choral pieces by Franz Liszt, to words by Joseph Autran. The cycle was composed in 1844/5; the numbers of the pieces in the Liszt catalogue of Humphrey Searle are S9, S10, S11a, S11b and S12. The title of the cycle was an allusion to the Ancient Greek concept of the four elements - earth, air, water and fire. Liszt also composed an overture for the cycle. Some of the music from the overture and the cycle was later reworked in Liszt's symphonic poem ''Les préludes (The preludes)'', which was premiered in 1854. ==Genesis== Liszt's starting-point for the cycle was ''Les aquilons'' ("The North Winds"), a male chorus with piano accompaniment, composed on July 24, 1844, in Marseille. Liszt had arrived in Marseille on July 23, 1844. He met with choristers of a German travelling company, who requested an original chorus piece of the composer. The poet Joseph Autran, whom Liszt had visited, offered him the poem ''Les aquilons''. In the afternoon of July 24 Liszt composed the piece. The work was performed on August 6 at Liszt's fourth concert in Marseille. The accompaniment was on two pianos, one played by Liszt himself.〔Eckhardt (1982), pp. 172-184.〕
