5.0 out of 5 stars F.Liszt + Agnes Street-Klindworth:A Correspondence, September 12, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Franz Liszt and Agnes Street-Klindworth: A Correspondence, 1854-1886 (Franz Liszt Studies Series) (Hardcover)

This book is an exciting document relating the tendre relationship between F.Liszt, great composer of 19 centuary, and Agnes S.-K. acting with her father as secret service agent in european courts. I have read a lot of Liszt correspondance with another famous people of the 19th century (Wagner, Marie d'Agoult, his pubishers, composers etc), but the correspondence with Agnes is very personal and discovers both human features of Liszt as a man and his very sincere opinion of the "new music of the future" including his own music and its problems with audience and critics. After finishing this very well documented correspondance I must say that Franz Liszt was not only music genius, but also humanist and fascinating man whose true value and role in the history of music has not yet been properly appreciated. Thanks especially to Pauline Pocknell(editor)!!!
