LISZT – ANNEES DE PELERINAGE BK 1 SWISS

In 1835/1836 Liszt was staying in Switzerland with his mistress Marie Comtesse dAgoult. He published his bold, avant-garde musical portrayal of his travels in the Swiss mountains in 1842 under the title Album d un Voyageur. Around 1850 the one-time enfant terrible had become a mature composer. Liszt reworked his early compositions and published them in 1855 as Annes de Plerinage, Erstes Jahr, Schweiz.
