Composer: Franz Liszt
Editor: Leslie Howard
Format: Book, Urtext Edition
Instrumentation: Piano
Level: Advanced

This final volume in Liszt's Annees de pelerinage in the Urtext edition by renowned Liszt scholar, Leslie Howard, contains the Troisieme Annee -- Italie S163, together with Trois Odes funebres S516, S516a and S517. Although the Odes funebres are not originally part of the Annees they have been included in this volume because they form a musical and spiritual bridge between Annees II and III. Together, these works demonstrate a character not met elsewhere in the great music literature of the nineteenth century. The thinning out of the style, almost to the point of deliberate barrenness, and the simultaneous impression of avant-garde pioneering and the reflection in solitude, even loneliness, that comes with age are particular to Liszt.

• Final volume of the Annees de pelerinage series by acknowledged Liszt specialist Leslie Howard
