Liszt Franz Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

The premiere of Rigoletto (1851) marks a significant milestone in Verdi's oeuvre. The opera, based on a play by Victor Hugo (Le Roi s'amuse, 1832), is a work of bizarre logic, featuring a grotesque blend of wild passion and dark humor, tragic seriousness and desperate mockery. Verdi himself referred to it as a revolutionary opera.

Franz Liszt's biographical work pays heartfelt tribute to Frédéric Chopin, highlighting their close friendship and shared experiences in the Romantic era. Liszt provides a unique perspective on Chopin's life, delving into his personality, relationships, and the cultural backdrop of his time. The narrative vividly captures the essence of Chopin's music and its influence on classical music, while also detailing his formative years in Poland and artistic journey in Paris. This biography transcends mere facts, offering an intimate homage from one musical genius to another.

Zudem wird Wagners Beziehung zu Mathilde Wesendonck und die Trennung von seiner ersten Frau thematisiert.

Der Band beleuchtet die Freundschaft zwischen Richard Wagner und Franz Liszt sowie deren musikalischen Austausch in einem umfangreichen Briefwechsel. Im Fokus stehen Wagners dramatische Jahre, seine Rolle in der Revolution 1848/49 und sein anschließendes Exil in der Schweiz, wo er Ideen für sein Spätwerk entwickelte.

Parigi, 1840. Liszt, il pianista più acclamato d’Europa, incontra Wagner, un giovane compositore sconosciuto. Inizia così una delle amicizie più celebri e complesse nella storia della musica. Nei successivi otto anni, Wagner compone opere come Il Vascello fantasma, Tannhäuser e Lohengrin, mentre Liszt, riconoscendo il potenziale rivoluzionario di Wagner, si dedica con passione alla sua promozione, culminando in un ciclo di concerti a Weimar nel 1853, dove dirige personalmente le tre opere. Liszt scrive articoli celebrativi sul genio di Wagner e concepisce un libro che sottolinea l'importanza di unire compositore e librettista, essenziale per il nuovo sistema drammatico di Wagner. Le sue pagine, ricche di riferimenti a filosofia, Bibbia, mitologie e arti, rivelano una ricerca musicale profonda. Sebbene il libro non sia stato pubblicato a causa di vicende editoriali, il musicologo Nicolas Dufetel ha recuperato i manoscritti e le annotazioni di Liszt, dando finalmente compiutezza al progetto. Per Liszt, la musica non può esistere senza poesia, e l'opera lirica deve rinascere, con Wagner come messia di questa trasformazione.

Die 'Consolations' gehören zu den bekanntesten Klavierwerken von Franz Liszt. Ihre Popularität beruht nicht nur auf ihrem expressiven und lyrischen Charakter, sondern auch auf ihren relativ moderaten pianistischen Anforderungen. Die endgültige Version der sechs Stücke erschien erstmals 1850 im Druck. Die Ausgabe basiert hauptsächlich auf der deutschen Erstausgabe, da keine erhaltenen Autographe und Druckvorlagen vorhanden sind. Zudem wurden die französische Erstausgabe sowie separate Ausgaben der Consolations Nr. 3 und 5, die in London oder Paris veröffentlicht wurden, konsultiert. Die Ausgabe wird durch Auffhinweise der Liszt-Schülerin Lina Ramann ergänzt, die praktisch erste Aufzeichnungen von Liszts Interpretationsideen darstellen. Eine klare Notation ohne Umblätterprobleme erleichtert das Studium und die Aufführung der beliebten Werke.

Franz Liszt's liaison with Agnes Street-Klindworth was a shadowy affair and one of the best-kept secrets of the Weimar years, according to Alan Walker, and La Mara's heavily censored 1894 edition of the Liszt-Agnes letters did little to illuminate this relationship. Here, in a new and expanded edition of those letters, Pauline Pocknell casts new light not only on Liszt himself, but on a woman who was the Master's mistress and confidante as well as a spy of considerable historical importance in her own right. This new critical edition contains all 160 extant letters in both English and French, transcribed from the most reliable sources and carefully annotated by a scholar of increasing reputation. Also included are-biographical information about Agnes herself; historical and critical prefaces; detailed notes for each letter; linking text between letters; analytical tables of the correspondence; an extensive bibliography and an index. Some 40 rare illustrations accompany the letters themselves and help readers visualize Liszt's and Agnes's circumstances and the amorous and diplomatic encounters they documented for posterity.
