“Gebeth” (Prayer) is one of the most beautiful and moving character pieces written by Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806–1856). Born in Pressburg (modern Bratislava), Mertz later established himself in Vienna as an excellent guitarist and guitar composer. This piece comes from his Bardenklänge (Bardic sounds) written in 1847, a series of short pieces written in the style of piano miniatures popular at the time. An angelic, harp-like introduction gives way to a unique and breathtaking arpeggio figuration in the second half.
