Franz Liszt
Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude
>Aside from “Funérailles” (HN 748), the same is true of the longest work in the volume “Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude”. This work, which is particularly expressive musically, is now appearing for the first time in our catalogue as a single volume; it is prefaced by Lamartine’s text in three languages. The fingering is by the composer.
