Volume I of Liszt's Années de pèlerinage, entitled Suisse, is based on impressions he gathered during an extended sojourn in Switzerland in 1835/36. The most important piece of the collection, first published in 1841, is undoubtedly Vallée d�Obermann, which offers a vast richness of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic variations on the basis of two contrasting themes. The technically and artistically demanding composition owes its title not to a scenic valley in Switzerland, but to the epistolary novel of the same name by French poet �tienne de Senancour. Set in Switzerland, it presents an emotionally torn hero who articulates his weltschmerz in a dialogue with nature. The musical text of this separate edition of Vallée d�Obermann is preceded by an excerpt from Senancour's novel, which may provide impulses that are just as important for the interpretation as are Francesco Piemontesi's fingerings.
