About three years after the publication of the second volume of his ?Années de Pèlerinage? (Italy) Liszt added a supplement to this collection: the triptych ?Venezia e Napoli?. For this he reworkedtwo of four pieces which he had already composed in 1840 after a journey to Italy grouping them around an adaptation of the gondola song ?Nessun maggior dolore? from Rossini?s ?Otello?. It is difficult to imagine the Pianorepertoire without the furious ?Tarantella? in particular which brings this supplement to a close after the two rather lyrical pieces ?Gondoliera? and ?Canzone?. With the publication of this supplementall works pertaining to the ?Années de Pèlerinage? are now available in Henle Urtext for the Liszt year.
