A new and wide-ranging collection of essays by leading
international scholars, exploring the concept and practices of
virtuosity in Franz Liszt and his contemporaries. In the annals of
music history, few figures have dominated the discussion of
virtuosity as much as Franz Liszt. A flamboyant performer whose
hair-raising technical feats at the piano created a sense of
awe-inspiring excitement andan icon whose star power radiated far
beyond the realm of music, Liszt was, along with his early model,
Paganini, among the first major performer-composers to define
himself principally by virtuosity. Featuring new essays by an
international group of preeminent scholars, Liszt and Virtuosity
offers a reevaluation of the concept and practices of virtuosity as
shaped and defined in Liszt's multifaceted oeuvre, as well as a
reconsiderationof Liszt's relation to other major and lesser-known
musical figures, including Czerny, Schubert, Chopin, Brahms,
Debussy, and Marie Jaƫll. Set in the context of larger trends
within the fields of music history, musicanalysis, intellectual
history, and performance studies, these capacious explorations
demonstrate that Liszt's uniqueness and significance resided in his
ability to transform virtuosity into a revolutionary musical force,
pushingthe piano aesthetic to the limits of sound and poetic
meaning.
