VI. Vallée d’Obermann – Liszt

The sixth piece in Liszt’s Années de pèlerinage – Suisse, “Vallée d’Obermann” (Obermann’s Valley), is a profound and introspective work inspired by the novel Obermann by Étienne Pivert de Senancour. The piece’s expansive structure, melancholic melodies, and dramatic climaxes create a sense of existential angst and philosophical contemplation. This arrangement for piano captures the essence of Liszt’s Romantic style, inviting pianists to explore the emotional depths and philosophical themes of this evocative tone poem.
