Au Bord D'une Source
''Au bord d'une source'' ("Beside a Spring") is a piano piece by Franz Liszt; it is the 4th piece of the first suite (music), suite of ''Années de Pèlerinage'' ("Years of Pilgrimage"). There are three separate versions of ''Au bord d'une source''. The first version appears in Liszt's set ''Album d'un voyageur'' (1834–1838), and the second in the first suite of Liszt's ''Années de pèlerinage'' (1836–1855).

From 1859 to 1867 he was officially Franz Ritter von Liszt; he was created a ''Ritter'' (knight) by Emperor Francis Joseph I in 1859, but never used this title of nobility in public. The title was necessary to marry the Princess Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein without her losing her privileges, but after the marriage fell through, Liszt transferred the title to his uncle Eduard in 1867. Eduard's son was Franz von Liszt., group=n (22 October 1811 – 31 July 1886) was a Hungarian composer, pianist and teacher of the Romantic period.
