A very carefully researched and written account of the life, times, work and influence of Franz Liszt (1811-1886), who was from every point of view the most complex of men, an awesome constellation of restless contradictions. Contains many musical illustrations and references to a vast literature, also a cleverly organized and usefully detailed calendar and an exhaustive list of Liszt's works in diverse forms. Absorbing as bedtime reading material, but valuable also as a scholarly resource. Nicely produced, with several pages of photographic material. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
