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.
Edition Peters is proud to continue its acclaimed series of Liszt critical editions from world-renowned Liszt expert and concert pianist Leslie Howard with this new urtext edition of Années de pèlerinage, Deuxième Année - Italie. Containing an extensive critical commentary and introductory notes, the edition (like its predecessor Première année - Suisse, (EP72782)) also contains reproductions of the half-tint illustrations by Robert Kretschmer that appeared in the first edition.
Also included in this prestige volume, a must-have for any serious Liszt pianist, is the supplementary volume Venezia e Napoli, beautiful and ingenious revisions of earlier works based on Italian street music.

The three volumes of Années de pèlerinage (‘Pilgrim Years’) are among Liszt‘s most important compositions for piano solo. From dramatic-virtuoso to pensive-romantic music, the 29 ‘travel pieces’ represent the complete range of Liszt‘s compositional expression.
For the first time, this first volume of the trilogy, Suisse (Switzerland) is published together with the Trois Morceaux suisses, in line with the composer’s original intention to combine all his Swiss-inspired character pieces into a single volume. The musical journey is supported by the inclusion of historical illustrations of the scenes and landscapes that inspired the composer.
Edited by world-renowned Liszt expert and concert pianist Leslie Howard, the edition also contains Liszt’s original fingerings.

Once Editio Musica Budapest had published critical editions of the complete piano solo works of Franz Liszt, they began work on a Supplement Series with the goal of publishing earlier and alternative editions of those works. Now in Volume 14, the editors present two alternate versions of the seminal Weihnachtsbaum: the first version (from autograph) and an early published version. Included also are alternate versions of his Annees de pelerinage, Troisieme annee and the Schlummerlied im Grabe, Die Trauergondel, and others. As always, both versions include background information on all pieces and facsimile copies. The hardbound edition includes all critical notes and a handsome blue hardcover, matching the rest of the series.
