Années de Pèlerinage, Volume 1: First Year, Switzerland

Années de pèlerinage, Première année: Suisse is the first volume of Franz Liszt's piano suite Années de pèlerinage, composed in the mid-1830s. The music comprises Romantic-era piano character pieces evocative of Swiss landscapes, combining virtuosic technique with lyrical, programme-driven writing and representing a key point in Liszt's transition from touring virtuoso to a composer of extended, poetic piano cycles.
