Reflections on Liszt (epub)

Description

One chapter is devoted to the Sonata in B Minor, perhaps Liszt’s single most celebrated composition.Walker draws heavily on Liszt’s astonishingly large personal correspondence with other composers, critics, pianists, and prominent public figures. All the essays reveal Walker’s broad and deep knowledge of Liszt and Romantic music generally and, in some cases, his impatience with contemporary performance practice..
