Années de Pèlerinage 2me année – La Notte

There is an interesting parallel between Dante’s pilgrimage as described in his Divina Commedia, which in essence explains how to get in heaven in three steps, and Liszts Annees de Pelerinage. But unlike Dantes Hell, Purgatorio and Paradise, the three years in Liszts cycle concern Nature, Art and God, thus forming its very own triptych of ascending levels.
