Franz Liszt
Les Jeux d’eaux à la Villa d’Este
Franz Liszt was a frequent guest of the acting cardinal at the Villa d’Este, situated in Tivoli near Rome. His “Jeux d’eaux” describe the glittering fountains, part of the water features at the villa; in measure 144 Liszt also added a quotation from the Bible to the musical text about the “water of life”, thus giving the work a religious context.
Maurice Ravel, who was also inspired to write a composition “Jeux d’eau” (HN 841) thanks to Liszt, gave his work a markedly secular accompanying text. Our new single edition from the third volume of the “Années de Pèlerinage” (HN 175) is a counterpart to our recently published Urtext edition of Ravel’s masterpiece.

About the Composer

Franz Liszt
The most famous piano virtuoso of the nineteenth century is regarded as the most influential artist and composer (with Berlioz, Wagner) of the so-called New German School. His immense musical oeuvre comprises, above all else, works for solo piano, including numerous transcriptions; he also devised the symphonic poem. Important, too, are his sacred and secular choral works and songs.
