The Années de Pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage) consists of the Première Année(Suisse); DeuxiemeAnnée (Italie) — including the formidable "Après une lecture du Dante" — and its supplement, Venezia e Napoli; and Troisième Année. Also included in this volume are a number of related pieces: "Lyon," from Album d'un voyageur; the three pieces called Apparitions; the original version of Venezia e Napoli. In addition, new English translations of the Russian footnotes and of the editor's preface have been provided.

The title of this work translates to 'Years Of Pilgrimage', and it is broken down into 3 books:Book one, Switzerland ; Book Two, Italy; Book ThreeThere are also various other pieces and variants of pieces that are in the main three books.This is all in one volume, a tremendous amount of music for the price. The pieces range from fairly simple to incredibly complex. In one volume, the artistry and genius of Liszt is showcased.The printing is good, the book lies flat on the piano. If you want an inexpensive but excellent introduction to the piano music of Liszt, then this volume is for you. Recommended.
This uses a spartan Russian edition which is sparsely annotated and footnoted. Would have been nice to include the many literary quotations attached to pieces in this collection (Vallee d'Obermann, the Petrarch sonnets, even the biblical quote in "Jeau d'eux a Villa d'Este"). Unlike other editions of these pieces, though, this edition includes the "complete" third year, which are mainly (rarely performed) pieces from Liszt's final years
Has the complete sets of Years of Pilgramage with all supplements. Print is small, but the edition is excellent, and to purchase these pieces separately could cost 10 times the cost of this product.
A very concise collection of these compositions. Font is easy to read and the book stays open. I was pleased with this purchase.
