Editorial Review Product Description "What distinguishes Walker from Liszt's dozens of earlier biographers is that he is equally strong on the music and the life. A formidable musicologist with a lively polemical style, he discusses the composer's works with greater understanding and clarity than any previous biographer. And whereas many have recycled the same erroneous, often damaging information, Walker has relied on his own prodigious, globe-trotting research, a project spanning twenty-five years. The result is a textured portrait of Liszt and his times without rival."--Elliot Ravetz, Time "The prose is so lively that the reader is often swept along by the narrative. . . . This three-part work . . . is now the definitive work on Liszt in English and belongs in all music collections."--Library Journal Customer Reviews (5)

Editorial Review Product Description At the height of the Romantic era in Paris, there was no bigger celebrity than the composer and pianist Franz Liszt. A fiery and gorgeous Hungarian, he made women swoon at soirees and left a trail of broken hearts behind him. Anne, a countess and talented young pianist whose mother has just died of cholera, hears Franz Liszt in concert and is swept up in his allure. The enigmatic Marie d'Agoult, a friend of Anne's late mother, takes her under her wing and introduces her to the artistic world -- despite the objections of Anne's sullen and sorrowful father. Anne soon finds herself in the midst of dangerous intrigues, discovering a family secret so shocking that her father will go to any lengths to protect it. With the ominous presence of Paris's most deadly epidemic looming over every turbulent event, Liszt's Kiss is a rich evocation of a remarkable period as seen through the eyes of a sensitive young artist.

Years of Pilgrimage Book one, Switzerland ; Book Two, Italy; Book Three There are also various other pieces and variants of pieces that are in the main three books. This is all in one volume, a tremendous amount of music for the price.The pieces range from fairly simple to incredibly complex. In one volume, the artistry and genius of Liszt is showcased. The printing is good, the book lies flat on the piano.If you want an inexpensive but excellent introduction to the piano music of Liszt, then this volume is for you.Recommended. ... Read more |

Attention all Lisztians On the negative side: There are copious footnotes, which often stray off the subject, whilst others belong to the main text from which they divert.As the book is meant to be a work of scholarship, the amount of opinion and speculation which peppers the book is also rather annoying.One has to be very cautious in separating Walker's own views from the first-class academic research that he has done. Nonetheless as this book covers the most prolific period of the composer's life, you can do no better than read Walker's account to dicover just who Liszt was, his importance to musical history and the enigma of the man himself.

Fantastic Source about a Fantastic Man. This volume goes into great detail about Liszt's life after hedecided to end his life as a virtuoso, and become a composer.His love forPrincess Carolyne became apparent in his music, and in his interactionswith others. While it is not as descriptive as I would have likedregarding Liszt's symphonic poems, my favorites among his many works, istill felt that this volume is well worth every penny I spent on it. Definitely a worthy buy for anyone interested in music and what makes up acomposer. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description In 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. Customer Reviews (2)

Editorial Review Product Description After falling ill during a visit to Bayreuth, Franz Liszt uttered this melancholy refrain throughout his final days, which were spent in rented rooms in a house opposite Wahnfried, the home ofhis daughter Cosima and his deceased son-in-law Richard Wagner. Attended by incompetent doctors and ignored and treated coldlyby his daughter, the great composer endured needless pain and indignity, according to a knowledgeable eyewitness. Lina Schmalhausen, his student, caregiver, and close companion, recorded in her diary a graphic description of her teacher’s illness and death. Alan Walker here presents this never-before-published account of Liszt’s demise in the summer of 1886. Walker, whose three-volume biography of Liszt was praised as "without rival" by Time, states that "no one who is remotely interested in the life and work of Franz Liszt can remain unaffected by the diary." Schmalhausen’s tale of neglect, family indifference, and medical malpractice was considered so explosive at the time of its writing that it was kept from public view. The twenty-two-year-old Schmalhausen was regarded with suspicion by many in the composer’s inner circle, as well as by other confidants, and a sanitized and inaccurate depiction of Liszt’s death made its way into the history books. For this volume, Walker has overseen the translation and thoroughly annotated the eighty-one-page handwritten diary, and added a selection of illustrations. A prologue contains important background information on Liszt himself and on Lina Schmalhausen’s diary. An epilogue discusses the funeral and ensuing controversies over disposition of the composer’s remains. Customer Reviews (5)
Going Beyond the Genre
Short, but interesting
Sad look into Liszt's last days before his death
Quite an addition to the Liszt literature! But look at the source of the find!

Outstanding book!
Excellent Buy!
Not enough information on fingering the pieces I would only recommendthis book for advanced piano players.And even for advanced players, Iwould recommend skipping "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" as presentedhere because it will likely lead to frustration (unless you're a flat-outgenius). [This book includes: By the Lake of Wallenstadt, ConsolationNo.'s 1-5, Dance of the Gnomes, Erl King, Etude No. 11, Etude in E,Farewell, Funeral Procession of Gondolas No.'s 1-2, Hungarian RhapsodyNo.'s 2 and 6, La Regatta Venetiana, Liebestraum No.'s 1-3, Mephisto Waltz,Nocturne in B, Nuages Gris, Valse Melancolique, Valse Oubliee No. 1, andWaldesrauschen] ...
