"No one knows more about Franz Liszt than Alan Walker." Malcolm
Bowie, Times Literary SupplementIn a series of lively essays that
tell us much not only about the phenomenon that was Franz Liszt but
also about the musical and cultural life of nineteenth-century
Europe, Alan Walker muses on aspects of Liszt's life and work that
he was unable to explore in his acclaimed three-volume biography of
the great composer and pianist. Topics include Liszt's
contributions to the Lied, the lifelong impact of his encounter
with Beethoven, his influence on students who became famous in
their own right, his accomplishments in transcribing and editing
the works of other composers, and his innovative piano technique.
One chapter is devoted to the Sonata in B Minor, perhaps Liszt's
single most celebrated composition.Walker draws heavily on Liszt's
astonishingly large personal correspondence with other composers,
critics, pianists, and prominent public figures. All the essays
reveal Walker's broad and deep knowledge of Liszt and Romantic
music generally and, in some cases, his impatience with
contemporary performance practice."
