Version History

  • Composed for solo piano, 1848 (= S.444), based on Wolfram's aria from Act III of the opera Tannhäuser, WWV 70, by Richard Wagner
Published 1849 by Kistner (Leipzig)
Published 1849 as "L'Étoile du soir, romance sans paroles transcrite par F. Liszt" by J. Meissonnier (fils) (Publication noted in the Bibliographie de la France 1e série, 38e année (52e de la collection), Nº 51, 22 Décembre 1849, p.648, r.219.)
Published 1994 in Journal of the American Liszt Society, vol.35 (ed. W. Wright)

AMG gives 1849 rather than 1848 for composition date of this particular arrangement, which bears looking into.
