Tristia (La Vallée d'Obermann) for Piano Trio, S. 378c (S. 723)
(for violin, cello and piano)
Duration: 16 minutes (approximately)
Published:
1880 (age 68-69)
Note: Tristia is a piano trio "arrangement" of Vallée d'Obermann, the sixth piece of Liszt's collection for solo piano, Années de Pèlerinage, Première année: Suisse (pub 1855) which draws on works from his earlier Album d'un Voyageur (pub. c.1842). Liszt's student Edward Lassen made the arrangement followed by Liszt's own edits. As such, there are apparently three versions with the final version three being the most frequently recorded. It seems the work goes by two different catalogue numbers: S.378c and S.723.

- transcription, transcribe—To re-score a work for an ensemble of instruments different from the original version. Typical examples include orchestrating piano or chamber works and visa versa. Within the realm of chamber music, a work for winds might be transcribed for strings, a symphony into a string quartet, a trio featuring a clarinet substituting a viola. One interesting question is: who made the transcription, the original composer? One interesting effect is that the transcription may become favored over the original. One of the most curious transcriptions in all of chamber music is Schoenberg's "Verklärte Nacht", transcribed from string sextet to piano trio with amazing success by one of his students.
