Après une lecture du Dante: Fantasia quasi Sonata (‘After a Reading of Dante’; also known as the Dante Sonata) is a piano sonata in one movement, written by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt in 1849. It was first published in 1856 as part of the second volume of his Années de pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage). This work of program music was inspired by the reading of Victor Hugo’s poem “Après une lecture de Dante” (1836).
