Franz Liszt’s Briefe. Gesammelt und herausgegeben von La Mara. Band I. Von Paris bis Rom

Famous across Europe for the astounding virtuosity of his piano playing, Franz Liszt was also one of the greatest composers and arrangers of his day. A student of Carl Czerny and Antonio Salieri, Liszt tailored his music to his own pianistic skill - making his works some of the most difficult written to that time. His illegitimate daughter Cosima eventually became the devoted wife of Richard Wagner.
