Années de Pelerinage-The New Liszt Edition (NLE) comprises ten series the works being grouped according to genre and scoring. Series I (Works for piano solo) was completed as a joint publication of EMB and Bärenreiter-Verlag Kassel by 1985. From 1986 on EMB continued to publish NLE alone completing Series II (Free arrangements and transcriptions for piano solo) by 2005. In publishing Series I and II priority was given to the final version of the works: of earlier versions only those were published in the appendix that differed significantly from the final form. In 2005 a series of 15 supplementary volumes was launched with the aim of publishing earlier versions of the solo piano works thatdiffer less substantially from the final form: mainly those published by Liszt himself but also some that remained in manuscript. In special cases more extensive fragments are also published in the supplementary volumes.

During his ''years of pilgrimage'' spent in Italy, the young Liszt gained enough musical inspiration from the local musical, artistic, and literary heritage to last for decades. These intense impressions are recorded in Volume 2 of Années de pelerinage, whose sources range from Raphael to Michelangelo, Dante, and Petrarch. Three of the latter's sonnets (47: Benedetto sia 'l giorno 104: Pace non trovo and 123: I' vidi in terra angelici costumi) were first set by Liszt as songs and, shortly afterwards, arranged for piano solo. The songs and, as a result, the piano pieces as well, reflect the style of Italian bel canto - Donizetti and Bellini - rather than following the GermanLied tradition. And while this feature was criticized by the contemporary press, the broadly arching melodic lines of these pieces and their Mediterranean passion have always carried away performer and listener alike. This revised (2018) edition contains the Three Sonnets in two versions: the first version was published in the course of 1846 and 1847, and the second, as part of Volume 2 of Années de pelerinage, in 1858. Based on the New Liszt Edition, the present volume provides a revised score, a facsimile reproduction, and critical notes. The new editorial preface orientates the reader in all the major questions regarding the work's genesis.
