Beethoven's Weihekuss revisited -- Liszt and the Beethoven symphonies -- Liszt and the Schubert song transcriptions -- Schumann, Liszt, and the C major fantasie, op. 17 : a study in declining relationships -- Liszt and his pupils : three character sketches -- Liszt's Sonata in B minor -- Liszt and the Lied -- Liszt as editor -- Liszt's technical studies : some thoughts and afterthoughts -- Liszt the writer : on music and musicians -- Epilogue : an open letter to Franz Liszt.
Sammanfattning: Aspects of Liszt's life and work and the musical and cultural life of nineteenth-century Europe that the author was unable to explore in his three-volume biography of the 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.
