Liszt was a distinguished Hungarian composer pianist conductor and writer. "Sketchbook evidence points to 1846-7 as the years when Liszt began to conceive the idea of a series of programmatic orchestral works. Of the four works he named all based on French poetry Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne and Les Préludes eventually became symphonic poems. . Liszt's concentration on the symphonic poem largely coincided with his tenure as Kapellmeister in Weimar where he had an orchestra at his disposal and provided music for performances at the Court Theatre. The Grand Duke commissioned Liszt's 'overtures' to preface specific dramas which thereby determined the subject matter of what were to become a number of his symphonic poems. Cormac F2017 argues that Liszt's approach to the overtures and their transformation into symphonic poems was influenced by his experience of an array of dramatic media opera plays melodramas tableaux vivants and by his interaction with staff and actors involved in the dramatic productions in Weimar. A New German School acolyte Felix Draeseke writing about the symphonic poems in a series of essays from the late 1850s acknowledged the influence of dramatic music especially opera on Liszt's Festklänge. Draeseke also addressed the issue that continues to interest scholars - the symphonic poems' engagement with sonata form. . Looking at the 12 Weimar symphonic poems Vande Moortele . views all but three Orpheus Héroide funèbre and Hunnenschlacht as using sonata form as one of the central principles guiding their large-scale organization. Furthermore Liszt seems to have attempted the same merging of sonata form and sonata cycle evident in the B Minor Sonata in Tasso Les préludes and Die Ideale and possibly Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne. . Some of the symphonic poems include mimetic representation of scenes and actions such as Hunnenschlacht's depiction of a battle and Prometheus's evocation of a voice followed by a storm. The inclusion of such passages drew criticism that a number of the symphonic poems seemed formless and could not be understood without access to a programme. In other symphonic poems such as Les Préludes and Orpheus Liszt responded to a philosophical programme without compromising musical logic. In these cases critics recognized Liszt the 'tone poet' who could capture a poetic stimulus in an expressive evocative musical flow unified by a single theme that underwent transformations. In general Liszt's sumptuous orchestral colorings were the dominant focus of critics' positive reception of his symphonic poems and programme symphonies."

Liszt conducted the work and the organist was Alexander Winterberger. The dedication concert the work's premiere was on August 31 1856. The reverberation time in the cathedral is 9 seconds Wikipedia creating the potential for an acoustic nightmare in performing a piece of this magnitude! The performance was attended by 4000 guests including Emperor Franz Joseph I and other imperial majesties of Austria-Hungary ecclesiastical dignitaries well-known musicians and members of the press. After the premiere Liszt and others continued to make various small changes and corrections to the original score. The first publication was in 1859 by the Imperial Printing House Vienna followed by subsequent editions and variations piano reductions etc. by J. Schuberth 1871. G. Schirmer 1909. etc. This particular edition/volume contains NO individual parts violin flute soprano etc. for actual performance but IS an actual complete copy of the entire conductor's score meaning that it includes all the orchestral organ vocal soloist SATB and choral SATB parts with vocal text all together for a conductor to use in rehearsal or performance. This edition was published by J. Schuberth & Co. no date likely in Leipzig rather than New York or Philadelphia as the names of the instruments are listed in German and the price on the front cover is listed in Thaler an old German/European coinage. The work is complete: Kyrie Gloria Credo Sanctus Benedictus Agnus Dei with all parts readable even where margins are chipped.
