Franz Liszt is well known for his early years as 'super-star'
pianist who excited audiences throughout Europe, but his later life
is also of great interest. In his final 25 years he sought to
achieve his life's aims of promoting new forms of music and giving
stronger witness to his Christian faith, while continuing to
support his stalwart life partner Princess Carolyne. However, he
was to face unexpected problems in the continued negative reception
of his music and recrimination in his closest relationship. Drawing
on detailed analysis of Liszt's correspondence from his fiftieth
year onwards, Peter Coleman approaches his later life as a case
study of an older person grappling with a succession of often
disturbing life experiences. These included the deaths of two of
his children, political upheaval and war within Europe, and a
growing realisation of his own past failings. Liszt suffered
frequent bouts of depression but never ceased composing music nor
steadfastly heeding Christ's command to bear one's cross. This
sensitive treatment of an extraordinary individual will appeal to
the scholar and general reader alike.
