| Abstract |
Franz Liszt was more than a composer, pianist, and polemicist; he was honored by popes and prelates, befriended by emperors and revolutionaries, and knew poets and artists of almost every variety and temperament. This book deals with such complex and fascinating topics as Liszt's entanglements with Agnes Street-Klindworth and the Vatican Bank, his literary and musical forays into social criticism, and his oratorios, songs, and late piano pieces (including a recently-discovered manuscript of one of his most famous Venetian works). The volume's seventeen essays were first presented at the international Liszt conference held in December 1998 at the Rockefeller Foundation's Villa Serbeloni in Bellagio, Italy, and organized by Rossana Dalmonte and Michael Saffle. |
