Funebre
La None is an expanded orchestral version of Liszt's piano piece II Penseroso, which was inspired by one of the Michelangelo statues in the Medici Chapel at Florence. Héroïde Funebre, written during the years 1848-50, originally formed the first movement of a ' Revolutionary Symphony '; was revised later and in its final form it may be interpreted as an Elegy on the death of Chopin, and on the murder, by a revolutionary mob, of Liszt's friend Lichnowsky. It was first performed in 1857. Humphrey Searle writes on the Grand Solo de Concert on page 6
