The Music of Liszt

Surveying his compositions in chronological order, this book by the noted British composer and musicologist is the most authoritative English-language study of Liszt's works. Virtuoso pianist Franz Liszt was a key figure in the evolution of modern music and most of his 700 compositions, which range from romantic impressionism to daring experimental pieces, were written for the piano.

British composer and musicologist Humphrey Searle (1915–82) wrote scores for films and television. He developed the most authoritative catalog of Liszt's works, which are frequently identified by his numbering system.Virtuoso concert pianist Sara Davis Buechner has been Assistant Professor of Piano at the University of British Columbia since 2003. A former faculty member at Manhattan School of Music and at New York University, she is a music consultant for Dover Publications.
