Overview

Supplement Volume 14 of the New Liszt Edition is a treasure trove of mostly unpublished early versions of piano compositions from the last two decades of Franz Liszt's life. The volume primarily features works from "Années de pèlerinage, Troisième Année" and the "Weihnachtsbaum" cycle, offering fascinating insight into the composer’s creative process.

Highlights include two complete early versions of Weihnachtsbaum, with shorter, more condensed pieces than the final published versions, and the first-ever publication of the autograph version of Schlummerlied im Grabe, a beautifully evocative piece. Liszt’s meticulous approach to composition is revealed through the inclusion of early forms of La lugubre gondola I & II.

This edition also contains a comprehensive preface (in Hungarian, English, and German) with new research findings, five manuscript facsimiles, and detailed critical notes. A perfect resource for pianists, researchers, and Liszt enthusiasts, this paperback edition is tailored for practical use.
