Description

Approximately three years after publishing the second volume of his "Années de Pèlerinage" (Italy), Liszt expanded the collection with a new triptych titled "Venezia e Napoli". For this supplement, Liszt reworked two pieces he had composed in 1840 after traveling to Italy, grouping them around an adaptation of the gondola song "Nessun maggior dolore" from Rossini's "Otello". The "Tarantella" that concludes this supplement is now an essential part of the piano repertoire, following the more lyrical "Gondoliera" and "Canzone" pieces.The publication of this supplement makes the complete "Années de Pèlerinage" collection available in the Henle Urtext edition.
