Description

Franz Liszt is well knownfor his early years as 'super-star' pianist who excited audiences throughoutEurope, but his later life is also of great interest.

In his final 25 years hesought to achieve his life's aims of promoting new forms of music and givingstronger witness to his Christian faith, while continuing to support hisstalwart life partner Princess Carolyne.

However, he was to face unexpectedproblems in the continued negative reception of his music and recrimination inhis closest relationship.  Drawing on detailed analysisof Liszt's correspondence from his fiftieth year onwards, Peter G.

Colemanapproaches his later life as a case study of an older person grappling with asuccession of often disturbing life experiences.

These included the deaths oftwo of his children, political upheaval and war within Europe, and a growingrealisation of his own past failings.

Liszt suffered frequent bouts ofdepression but never ceased composing music nor steadfastly heeding Christ'scommand to bear one's cross.

This sensitive treatment of an extraordinaryindividual will appeal to the scholar and general reader alike.
