Annees de Pelerinage – Troisieme Annee (Italie), Trois Odes Funebres

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 & 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. Includes preface, critical notes, original illustrations and historical texts.
