Each essay (presentations at the International Liszt Symposium in Stockholm, by leading scholars and specialists) illuminates aspects of the Symposium’s theme while encompassing Liszt’s evolutionary path from the late middles ages to us. Well-documented revelations about music, the other arts, Liszt’s circle, contemporary and modern historical, social, and political events, the parallel evolution of Liszt’s compositional reception and of the piano, all intertwine within each essay and among them.
Reviews
“The present selection of . . . essays written by thirteen eminent scholars and complete with several musical examples, appendix and useful index, aptly introduced by the distinguished Canadian Liszt biographer Alan Walker, is a significant publication and a wonderful book to own. This eagerly awaited volume is a completely absorbing study of selected aspects of Liszt and his music that will enhance the bookshelf of scholar and general reader alike.” – William Wright
