Description
The three volumes of Liszt's "Années de pèlerinage" (Years of Pilgrimage) are a cornerstone of his piano works. The first two collections capture travel impressions from Switzerland and Italy in the 1830s, while the final volume, published in 1883 after a long delay, reflects a spiritual journey. This last collection expresses the changed circumstances of the composer, who had taken minor holy orders in Rome in 1865 and thereafter called himself "Abbé Liszt."
Henle Urtext's revised edition of the "Années de pèlerinage" draws upon newly discovered or newly accessible sources, with the accompanying texts reflecting the latest research. French pianist Cédric Tiberghien has provided the fingering.
