Les cloches de Genèveis the final movement of the first suite from the Years of Pilgrimage. Liszt titles the movement as a Nocturne and includes an epigraph from Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage: I live not in myself, but I become / Portion of that around me. As the final chords sound, the listener is given the impression of church bells fading into the distance - a stark contrast to the fiery opening of La Chapelle de Guillaume Tell.Jeremy Jordan
