Franz Liszt: Volume 1. The Virtuoso Years, 1811-1847
- 1983 JT Black-Biography winner
- Score: 10.33
Important developments have taken place in the world of Liszt scholarship since this volume first went to press, in 1983. This book contains many of the basic documents Ramann used to construct her ‘official’ three-volume biography of Liszt, which appeared during the fourteen-year period 1880-94. It had always been known that Liszt granted Ramann some personal interviews, but their extent had never before been properly chronicled.
