🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Années de pèlerinage première année “Suisse” Les cloches de Genève in H-Dur S.160/R.10-9

Les cloches de Genève is a lyrical miniature that layers long-breathed melodies with repeated tones suggesting the lingering resonance of bells within a calm, measured flow. The melody unfolds gently over a wide-ranging accompaniment, while the gradual thickening of the sonority and its return to stillness provide important points of interest. Rather than emphasizing the bell-like figures mechanically, the performer should preserve the resonance with the pedal while keeping the individual voices clear and carefully shaping the melody’s breathing and harmonic changes. In the final passage, a soft landing, as though the sound were dissolving into space, is preferable to a display of force.
