About this book
James Huneker, the American music critic, wrote this life of the pianist and composer Franz Liszt in 1911, and dedicated it to Henry T. Finck. The nine chapters weigh the real man against the legend, then turn to his art and character, the B-minor Sonata and other piano pieces, and his years at Rome, Weimar and Budapest.
Later chapters look at Liszt as composer, at what his contemporaries wrote of him, at his pupils, and at the pianists who followed. Portraits of his parents, his children, Countess Marie d'Agoult and Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein are among the illustrations.
