# Remembering Argos: Life & Loss in the Funeral Odes of Franz Liszt

Franz Liszt (1811-1886) composed a set of three "Funeral Odes" between 1860 and 1866 as memorial works for members of his family. Existing in a number of different versions but still barely known, David Plylar provides an introduction to these fascinating pieces before performing them in their piano solo versions. The Library of Congress holds the holograph manuscripts of two versions of the works: La Notte for violin and piano, and the orchestral version of Le triomphe funebre du Tasse.
