There was a shift in Liszt's musical style in the last years of his life, from virtuosic exuberance to dissonance, silence and abandoned endings. During this time there was a rapprochement between the composer and his daughter Cosima, from whom Liszt had been estranged over her affair with Wagner. Donald Macleod explores the music of Liszt's final years, including pieces written in response to his premonition of Wagner's death, and a piece written shortly before Liszt's own death on a visit to Cosima in Bayreuth in 1885.
