Publisher's Synopsis
""From Rome To The End: Letters Of Franz Liszt V2"" is a book that contains a collection of letters written by the famous composer and pianist Franz Liszt. The letters are written to various individuals, including family members, friends, and fellow musicians, and cover a period of time from Liszt's stay in Rome in the 1860s to the end of his life in 1886. The letters provide insight into Liszt's personal life, his thoughts on music and art, and his relationships with other prominent figures of the time. The book is edited and compiled by La Mara, a German writer and music historian who was a close friend of Liszt. This volume is the second in a series of collections of Liszt's letters, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and works of this influential composer.The four scores of the Beethoven Symphonies, of which you advised me in your friendly letter, reached me yesterday. My eyes are meanwhile revelling and delighting in all the glories of the splendid edition, and after Easter I shall set to work. Nothing shall be wanting on my part, in the way of goodwill and industry, to fulfil your commission to the best of my power. A pianoforte arrangement of these creations must, indeed, expect to remain a very poor and far-off approximation. How instil into the transitory hammers of the Piano breath and soul, resonance and power, fulness and inspiration, color and accent?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
