Weihnachtsbaum (English: Christmas Tree; French: Arbre de Noël) is a suite of 12 pieces written by Franz Liszt in 1873–76, with revisions in 1881. The suite exists in versions for solo piano and piano four-hands. Weihnachtsbaum does not demand great virtuosity, and it has been described as a distant relation of Schumann's Kinderszenen and Debussy's Children's Corner. It occupies an unusual place in Liszt's output, and it may be for these reasons that it has received relatively little attention from performers. Liszt dedicated Weihnachtsbaum to his first grandchild Daniela von Bülow +••.••(...); daughter of Cosima and Hans von Bülow). Daniela had accompanied her grandfather to Rome due to his frail condition. The first performance was on Christmas Day 1881 in Daniela's Rome hotel room. This was the day on which her mother Cosima always celebrated her birthday, although she was actually born on Christmas Eve. A number of the pieces are based on Christmas carols. The individual pieces are: 1: Psallite; Altes Weihnachtslied (Psallite; Old Christmas Song; originally a choral work by Michael Praetorius) 2: O heilige Nacht!; Weihnachtslied Nach Einer Alten Weise (O Holy Night!; Christmas Song on an Old Theme) 3: In dulci jubilo: Die Hirten an der Krippe (In dulci jubilo: The Shepherds at the Manger) 4: Adeste fideles: Gleichsam als Marsch der heiligen drei Könige (Adeste Fideles: March of the Three Holy Kings) 5: Scherzoso: Man zündet die Kerzen des Baumes an (Scherzoso: Lighting the Candles on the Tree at Last) 6: Glockenspiel (Carillon) 7: Schlummerlied (Slumber Song) 8: Altes provençalisches Weihnachtslied (Old Provençal Christmas Song) 9: Abendglocken (Evening Bells) 10: Ehemals (variously trans. as In Days Gone By, Old Times, Long Ago, Formerly) 11: Ungarisch (Hungarian; this is separately dedicated to Liszt's friend Kornél Ábrányi. 12: Polnisch (Polish). The work is divided into three books of four pieces each. Not all of the pieces have a Christmas connection. In particular, the last three are believed to be autobiographical in nature, depicting Liszt's relationship with Princess Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein. Ehemals is said to depict their first meeting, and is similar in mood and spirit to the Valses oubliées. Ungarisch and Polnisch are said to represent Liszt and Carolyne individually.

Franz Liszt: Weihnachtsbaums/ The Christmas Tree Suite (3rd version), S.185c "1st book". The 2nd revision from the set of 12 Weihnachtsbaums, S.185c is the 3rd ver of the later revised S.186 version (which is also the 4th and last version from the cycle). This revised manuscript is located at Istituto Liszt, Bologna and revised at Roma in 1880 - 1881, sadly this revision (as well with the 2nd version, S.185b) has been not arranged for 4 hands but however curiously this version was edited and published by the Gutheil edition in Moscow. "The Christmas Tree suite occupied Liszt for quite some time—he was determined to make an especially good job of it to present to his granddaughter Daniela von Bulöw (daughter of Hans von Bülow and Cosima who was born at Christmas day) to whom the set is dedicated (Except for No.11 which was dedicated to his friend Kornél Ábrányi instead)—. The whole work is arranged in three groups of four pieces (where we called them books) which, broadly, present traditional carol melodies, a child’s view of Christmas, and a maturer person’s recollections. (Notes by Leslie Howard with edits by us) Book 1 (Traditional carol melodies) featuring: 0:00 - Psallite! (Altes Weihnachtlied/ Vieux Chant de Noël) - Michael Praetorius (1571–1621) composed the choral work which provides the theme for Psallite, or, at least, the central section—Liszt provides a formal march-like introduction and coda, setting a processional air. The notations from this were unchanged and moved to the 4th version with slight revised dynamics and a ossia notation for harmonium. 2:03 - O Heilige Nacht! (O Holy Night!) - O Heilige Nacht! is based on an old carol, and Liszt also produced a version of the piece for choir and organ. It went into slight expansion, more elaborated, and as same with Psallite! Theres been added an ossia notation for harmonium 4:42- In Dulci Jubilo - Die Hirten an der Krippe (The Shepherds at the Manger) - The melody of In Dulci Jubilo is known to practically everyone, but Liszt’s delicate left-hand pastoral dactyls are one of his happiest inspirations. The last revision from the piece introduces a new coda and a more elaborated half section from it which here it lacks of it. 7:06 - Adeste fideles - Gleichsam als Marsch der Heiligen Drei Könige (The March of The Three Holy Kings) - His treatment of what all English-speaking people will immediately recognize as O come, all ye faithful as a march for the three kings (which has no connection with the eponymous march in Liszt’s oratorio Christus) allows him to introduce some rather dramatic extensions to the well-known tune. Theres slight revisions on notation for the last version from this piece, a triplets treatment were added for the octave passages and coda.

Franz Liszt: Weihnachtsbaums/ The Christmas Tree Suite (3rd version), S.185c "2nd book". The 2nd revision from the set of 12 Weihnachtsbaums, S.185c is the 3rd ver of the later revised S.186 version (which is also the 4th and last version from the cycle). This revised manuscript is located at Istituto Liszt, Bologna and revised at Roma in 1880 - 1881, sadly this revision (as well with the 2nd version, S.185b) has been not arranged for 4 hands but however curiously this version was edited and published by the Gutheil edition in Moscow. "The Christmas Tree suite occupied Liszt for quite some time—he was determined to make an especially good job of it to present to his granddaughter Daniela von Bulöw (daughter of Hans von Bülow and Cosima who was born at Christmas day) to whom the set is dedicated (Except for No.11 which was dedicated to his friend Kornél Ábrányi instead)—. The whole work is arranged in three groups of four pieces (where we called them books) which, broadly, present traditional carol melodies, a child’s view of Christmas, and a maturer person’s recollections. (Notes by Leslie Howard with edits by us) Book 2 (A child's view of Christmas) featuring: 0:00 - No.5, Scherzoso: Man zündet den Baum an (Scherzoso: Lighting the Tree) - The fifth piece is one of very few scherzi that Liszt wrote—full of humour, and treacherously difficult as children’s pieces go!, a brief comparison is that the changes over the first version to the 3rd version is quite small, with a slightly different coda, the differences through the 4th version are quite notable due that it went into a further expansion on its last revision. A theory of mine is that it might be perhaps unchanged from the 2nd version, that explains the slight changes over the 1st version. 1:13 - No.6, Carillon - The double notes of Carillon—the first of two bell-pieces—are similarly unnerving, as is the unresolved ending. The 1st and 2nd version includes that solved coda (even its kinda cute to listen to) but at the 3rd version now the unsolved coda has been added, the changes through the 4th version are quite small, the only change there is that an acciaccatura has been added there. 3:13 - No.7, Schlummerlied - Berceuse (Slumber Song - Lullaby) - The seventh piece is worlds away from Liszt’s independent Berceuse. Here, a very simple melodic fragment with a rippling accompaniment makes several dreamlike excursions into strange harmonic territory before it drifts off into sleep. The first version lacks of the melody from the known 4th version even it includes a different and delightful coda, in the 2nd version Liszt introduces a that known melody following the treatments from the 1st version with a more expanded and elaborated on harmonies by using the newer melody over it, even Liszt wrote an early alternative coda which he also dropped from the piece, on the 3rd version Liszt finally does a great expansion from a couple of passages as well as the introduction and coda and from the 4th version Liszt remains it unchanged from the 3rd version. 7:18 - No.8, Altes Provenzalisches Weihnachtslied - Ancien Noël Provençal (Old Provençal Christmas Song. - No 8 actually includes two old French carols, and makes another rather sophisticated little scherzo which leads us to the adult world of the last pieces. Luckly in this one we can see the 4 changes that the piece went through, on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd version there is an ossia (that was dropped on the 4th version) where we took account on this video, on the 2nd version liszt drops a little section from left hand at the thirds passage, on the 3rd version Liszt introduces an small passage before the recapitulation from the main theme, at the 4th version Liszt discards the ossia from the other 3 early versions and he introduces an slightly expanded coda.
