Die Ideale ("The Ideals"), S. 106, is a symphonic poem composed by Franz Liszt in 1856–1857 and published in 1858 as No.
[1] Die Ideale was composed for the unveiling of a Goethe and Schiller monument on Sept. 5th, 1857.
It was inspired by multiple passages of the poem of the same name by Schiller, which Liszt liberally rearranged to create a program to his liking.
[2] This is an example of the extreme to which Liszt went to create the programmatic atmosphere of his Symphonic Poems.
