CLIFFORD CURZON (Pianoforte)
T ISZT'S piece is one of a set in which he gives in music his impressions of foreign scenes, people, art and literature. There are in all three such sets, the first two referring to his wanderings through Switzerland and Italy at various times from 1835 to 1840, when he was in his twenties.
Liszt's early ideas as to pictorial or suggestive music are well indicated in the preface to the first edition of the earliest of the pieces, in which he says: 'Having recently visited many new countries ... having felt that the varied aspects of Nature and of the scenes attached thereto did not pass before my eye like vain pictures, but they stirred up in my soul deep emotions ; that there was established between them and myself ... an inexplicable, but certain communication, I have tried to express in music a few of the strongest of my sensations ...'
In his second book of ' Pilgrimages ' are three pieces whose poetic basis is respectively the 47th, 104th and 123rd Sonnets of the great fourteenth-century lyric poet Petrarch.
