Description

The diaries of August G'llerich, secretary and student of Franz Liszt, perpetuate "the Liszt tradition" in this first-hand account of the Master's approach to piano teaching, his likes and prejudices both musical and social, and his way of encouraging and befriending his students. Liszt made specific comments about a wide repertoire, including pieces by his close friend Chopin. His insights on other composers and references to little-known or out-of-print works are particularly valuable. Pianists interested in the history of performance practice and the Romantic era will learn from and take delight in this volume.
