It&#8217;s a highly diversified work, where moments of rather sugary sentimentality (The Shepherds at the Manger) stand side by side with martial pomp (March of the Three Holy Kings) and visionary passages with Ravel-like harmonies (Evening Bells).<\/p>\n<p>The first four pieces in Weihnachtsbaum (Christmas Tree) present traditional Christmas carols in easy settings, which can also be performed on the organ. Nos. 5-8 are more demanding; they seem to depict a child&#8217;s impressions of Christmas (Liszt did dedicate the set to his first grandchild Daniela von B\u00fclow \u2013 however, she was 21 at the time of publication.) The last group of four pieces consists of two quiet, nostalgic works, and two more ebullient national character pieces, all without any obvious Christmas connection. Liszt made both solo and four-hand versions of the complete cycle.
