- catalog abstract ""Franz Liszt (1811-86) was one of the towering personalities of the nineteenth-century Romantic movement, internationally renowned for his astonishing versatility as a pianist, for his achievements as a composer and for his glittering social life. Not only did he raise the social status of the virtuoso but, by his dramatic love affairs with a series of aristocratic women, he came to symbolize the type of romantic hero depicted in his own music and that of his contemporaries. Yet his success was achieved at a price, and repeatedly he faced spiritual crises and periods of ill health. In this engrossing new study, Iwo and Pamela Załuski chart the early years of Liszt, from his birth in 1811 on the Esterházy estate at Raiding until 1835, when his fame as a brilliantly gifted pianist and composer had already spread throughout Europe. They cover the years in which his precocious genius brought him to the attention of some outstanding teachers--Czerny, Salieri and Paër--and also attracted the admiration of Beethoven, Cherubini, Weber and Rossini."--Publisher's description.".
