In addition to what these missives tell us of the life and character of this extraordinarily charismatic composer and pianist, and of his ties to the other great musicians of the period, Franz Liszt's letters--most of which are here translated into English for the first time--also reveal the astonishing range of his relationships in literature, art, the church, politics, and among the great reigning houses of Europe.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"...a compelling self-portrait of Liszt the composer....A thousand pages spent in the company of this admirable man are a rare delight. For Lisztomanics and Lisztolaters, of course, they will be very heaven."--Times Literary Supplement
"A remarkable memoir/autobiography....Williams provides perfect translations and superb annotations, filling the gaps left by the correspondence. The best English-language collection of Liszt's letters....Highly recommended."--Choice
