Much of Franz Liszt's musical legacy has often been dismissed as
'trivial' or 'merely showy,' more or less peripheral contributions
to nineteenth-century European culture. But Liszt was a mainstream
composer in ways most of his critics have failed to acknowledge; he
was also an incessant and often extremely successful innovator.
Liszt's mastery of fantasy and sonata traditions, his painstaking
settings of texts ranging from erotic verse to portions of the
Catholic liturgy, and the remarkable self-awareness he demonstrated
even in many of his most 'entertaining' pieces: all these things
stamp him not only as a master of Romanticism and an early
Impressionist, but as a precursor of Postmodern 'pop.' Liszt's
Music places Liszt in historical and cultural focus. At the same
time, it examines his principal contributions to musical literature
-- from his earliest operatic paraphrases to his final explorations
of harmonic and formal possibilities. Liszt's compositional
methods, including his penchant for revision, problems associated
with early editions of some of his works, and certain aspects of
class and gender issues are also discussed. The first book-length
assessment of Liszt as composer since Humphrey Searle's 1956
volume, Liszt's Music is illustrated with well over 100 musical
examples.
