Les Preludes (Symphonic Poem No. 3), S. 97 - Study score

The third of the ground-breaking series of thirteen works composed for orchestra, Liszt's "Les Préludes" was inspired by Alphonse de Lamartine's "Nouvelles méditations poétiques". Composed from 1850-54, it was given its premiere in Weimar 23 February 1854 with the composer conducting the Weimar Hofkapelle. This new study score is a digitally-restored reissue of the score edited by Otto Taubmann in the second volume of the Liszt-Stiftung edition, published in 1908. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.
