Nuages gris

Nuages Gris (Grey Clouds) is a piano solo composed by Franz Liszt in 1881. In his later years, he became more experimental, and unlike most of his works that are virtuoso in nature, this one is quite short and simple. The harmonies are based on intervals of fourths (outlining tritones) and the piece contains many augmented triads. These harmonies are quite different from those in his earlier works. Nuages Gris is featured in the soundtrack to Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick's last film.
