Glanes de Woronince (Gleanings from Woronińce, or Harvest at Woronińce), S. 249, is a suite of three piano pieces by Franz Liszt, written in 1847 at Woronińce, now {{ill|Voronivtsi|uk|Воронівці (Хмільницький район)}} (Ukrainian: Воронівці), the Ukrainian estate of Princess Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein.[http://www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/1998/199819.shtml "Dateline New York: Echoes of Ukrainian melodies"]by Helen Smindak, The Ukrainian Weekly {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091003123023/http://www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/1998/199819.shtml |date=2009-10-03 }}

Liszt had first met the Princess when he played in Kyiv on 14 February of that year. She was recently separated from her husband, and she invited Liszt to spend some time on her estate in Podolia. He stayed for 10 days, then left for a concert tour, promising to return in the autumn. He came back around 18 September, and stayed till early January 1848.{{cite book|last1=Walker|first1=Alan|author1-link=Alan Walker (musicologist)|last2=Erasmi|first2=Gabriele|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mpwByzMCnvYC&pg=PA6|title=Liszt, Carolyne and the Vatican: The Story of a Thwarted Marriage|page=6|publisher=Pendragon|year=1991|isbn=9780945193098}} It was during these three months that Liszt's and Sayn-Wittgenstein's relationship developed to the stage that she planned to petition the tsar, Alexander II of Russia, for divorce, and marry Liszt. During this time, Liszt also completed much of his Harmonies poétiques et religieuses.

They were dedicated to Princess Carolyne's daughter, Princess Marie von Sayn-Wittgenstein.

Liszt also wrote a transcription for piano solo of Chopin's "A Maiden's Wish" in his Six Chants polonais, S. 480, but in conception it is quite a different piece from its appearance in Glanes de Woronince.[https://archive.today/20120804040706/http://www.gramophone.net/Issue/Page/April%201971/33/833637/HERE+AND+THERE%23header-logo "Here and There with Roger Wimbush"] on David Lloyd-Jones, Gramophone, April 1971{{failed verification|date=March 2022|reason=This is a thoroughly incomplete archive.
