A Listener's Guide .... Franz Liszt wrote over 500 piano compositions. The fact that he was handsome as a young man, the greatest pianist who ever lived, the most original conductor of the age, the greatest piano teacher music has ever known, attractive to woman, charitable, flamboyant, and - oh yes - a composer of a new genera of original music did not hurt his chances for fame. He was the classical music star of the nineteenth century; perhaps as popular as the Beatles in the twentieth century. Aspects of his life as well as 105 abstracts of over 140 piano compositions and a Test of Liszt allows the reader to become acquainted with the music and the man. The 105 Abstracts including the transcriptions of the symphonies of Beethoven are the heart of the book. Also included are Liszt the pianist, his career, his teachings, and his advances in piano technique, and the psychology of Liszt during the most troubling events in his life.
