Years of Pilgrimage

The title of this work translates to 'Years Of Pilgrimage', and it is broken down into 3 books:Book one, Switzerland ; Book Two, Italy; Book ThreeThere are also various other pieces and variants of pieces that are in the main three books.This is all in one volume, a tremendous amount of music for the price. The pieces range from fairly simple to incredibly complex. In one volume, the artistry and genius of Liszt is showcased. The printing is good, the book lies flat on the piano. If you want an inexpensive but excellent introduction to the piano music of Liszt, then this volume is for you. Recommended.
