This edition is volume 27 of the New Liszt Edition, and of the soft paper bound series Liszt: Klavierwerke. It contains piano transcriptions, faithful to the score, of works by Berlioz. First there is the transcription of the Symphonie fantastique, and transcriptions of the overtures to Roi Lear and the Les francs-juges, and finally the Marche des pelerins from the Harold in Italy symphony.

The music is complemented by a critical commentary and published in a hard clothbound edition, while the soft paper bound edition without critical commentary serves practical purposes. Both versions are illustrated with facsimiles of pages from the Liszt manuscripts used as sources.
