Description

Franz Liszt: A Life in the Spotlight This engrossing biography sheds new light on the life and career of Franz Liszt, the musical revolutionary who became an international sensation. Drawing on previously unexamined documentary sources, Oliver Hilmes reveals the complex face of this extraordinary talent. Liszt's life was a whirlwind of music, showmanship, and scandal. From his early days as a child prodigy to his later years as a fervent Catholic and lothario, Liszt reinvented himself time and again. This biography explores the intrigues of 19th-century European high society, including Liszt's powerful patrons and their complicated relationships with him. With its colorful and witty portrayal of Liszt's life, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of music's most fascinating figures.
