This study of a hitherto neglected aspect of Liszt and his music
aims to restore a balanced view of both man and artist. In contrast
to the familiar portrayal of the virtuoso pianist, Liszt is
considered here as a serious man of ideas: in tracing the
composer's relationships and attitudes to the twin themes of
revolution and religion, Paul Merrick finds much of Liszt's music,
both secular and sacred, to be inspired by the same deeply felt
religious conviction that also governed his private life from an
early age. The first part of the book is primarily biographical and
considers Liszt's reactions to the revolutions of 1830 and 1848,
his relationship with the Abbe Lamennais, the Comtesse d' Agoult,
Princess Wittgenstein and Wagner, and contains the first convincing
explanation for the sudden cancellation of Liszt's marriage to
Princess Wittgenstein. The remaining sections consider the church
music and the programmatic music that is related to this.
