Franz Liszt: Années De Pèlerinage Deuxième Année - Italie: Piano: Instrumental

Années de Pèlerinage Deuxième Année - Italie-Between 1837 39 Liszt was travelling through Italy with Marie d Agoult. As was the case with the first volume of the Années de Pèlerinage Schweiz (1835/36) he once again recorded his travel impressions in musicalform. He devoted himself to subjects from literature (Petrarca Dante) and the visual arts (Raffael Michelangelo). Many years later Liszt reworked the pieces publishing them in 1858 as Années de Pèlerinage Zweites Jahr Italien.The central work in this volume is the large-scale so-called Dante Sonata (Après une Lecture de Dante see also single edition HN 981). The Sonetto 104 del Petrarca (also available as a single edition HN 982) isjust as popular. In 1861 Liszt published an appendix to Volume II Venezia e Napoli which is also available as a separate edition HN 985.
