Arrangement s for the piano, transcriptions and opera paraphrases take up a large part in Franz Liszt's complete ouvre. He even arranged scenes from the music dramas of Richard Wagner. The transcription of 'Lied an den Abendstern' comes from the third act of the romantic opera Tannhauser und der Sangerkrieg auf Wartburg. In his transcription of 1849 Liszt kept exactly to Wagner's original but he divided the scene into 'Recitative' and 'Romance'. He transposed the piece to the keys of G sharp minor and A flat major, which sound warmer on the piano and which also allow for a more easy-to-play romantic piano setting. Liszt uses the cantilena of the violoncellos in Wagner's original as tonal highlight with octaves in the descant. A transcription that is beautiful to listen to for both pianist and audience and perfectly suitable for concert performances and recitals.

Numerous revisions and adaptations are entangled in the complex history of the work 'Tannhauser'. After the world premiere in Dresden in 1845 had failed to be well received by the audience, Wagner revised large parts of the opera several times in the following decades. The most comprehensive changes were made for the Paris performance in March 1861, but even after that he made further revisions which superseded some of the previous changes and were performed in Vienna in 1875 among others.The study score is based on the version of 1875 which has misleadingly been published as the 'Paris version' until today and has actually to be referred to as 'Viennese version'. The musical text is identical to that of the critical edition within the Wagner Complete Edition, with the errata discovered since then having been corrected.
