Franz Liszt: Venezia e Napoli Annees De Pelerinage Volume 2

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.

Deuxième année - Italie (S161) / Venezia e Napoli (S162)-While the first volume of Liszt?s Années de pèlerinage (?Pilgrim Years?) was inspired primarily by the landscape of Switzerland the creative impetus for the second volume was the art and literature of Italy.

Italie for String Quartet Score and Parts. Par BAKER CLAUDE. Annees de pelerinage: Italie (Years of Pilgrimage: Italy) derives its title from the set of three suites for piano by Franz Liszt in which he musically portrays the strongest sensations and most lively impressions created by his travels to Italy and Switzerland during the period 1835-39. In this composition, each of the four movements explores a particular Italian city or region through, in part, the eyes of other composers who (like Liszt) were inspired to write works based on their own sojourns in the country. There are references, both literal and oblique, to music by Berlioz, Tchaikovsky and Liszt (with a sly wink from Paganini). Serious and playful elements combine in thepiece, with the two inner movements (II. Venezia e Napoli and III. Firenze) providing light-hearted foils to the more somber outer movements (I. Roma and IV. Abruzzo).
