Apres une lecture de Dante - Fantasia quasi Sonata by : Ernst Herttrich : Franz Liszt Often referred to by pianists as the “Dante Sonata;” it is the closing piece in the second volume of the “Années de Pèlerinage” (HN 174) and is now finally available as a single edition. In 1839; while under the spell of Dante's “Divine Comedy;” Liszt had begun work on a “fragment dantesque.” He later incorporated the work in revised form into the volume “Italy” of his “Années de Pèlerinage.” The single-movement sonata is based on the Canto “Inferno” in Dante's poem. It describes the wild ride of the sould into hell in an effective manner; finally closing with several forgiving chords in a kind of transfiguration – one of the best examples of Liszt's technical ingenuity and sound artistry.
