'''''Années de Pèlerinage''''' ('''''Years of Pilgrimage''''') ([[List of compositions by Franz Liszt (S.1 - S.350)‎|S.160, S.161, S.163]]) is a set of three [[suite]]s by [[Franz Liszt]] for solo piano. Liszt's complete musical style is evident in this masterwork, which ranges from rather empty virtuosic fireworks to sincerely moving emotional statements. His musical maturity can be seen evolving through his experience and travel. The third volume is especially notable as an example of his later style: it was composed well after the first two volumes and often displays less showy virtuosity and more harmonic experimentation.

===In Print===

[[Dover Publications]] has issued a complete transcription of the 3 suites in one bound volume. This edition includes an appendix of related works including earlier versions of pieces later revised for the suite: Lyon (from the first book of Album d'un voyageur), Apparitions, Tre sonetti del Petrarca, and the original version of Venezia e Napoli. At one time, the American publisher Schirmer issued separate editions of the suites, but these appear to have fallen out of print.
