Via Crucis (1866-1878) is an extraordinary work. It is a devotion describing the journey of Christ carrying the Cross, divided into fourteen 'stations' or stages.Liszt visualized the devotion consists of meditations on stages of Via Crucis which describes in 14 pictures chatolic churches the journey of Christ carrying the Cross. This was what Liszt visualized when he composed the music, and in one of his most deeply personal works, he presents a series of radically expressionistic, intense miniatures.
