Capturing the man and the musician-the legendary virtuoso tours, the creator of new types of orchestral and choral music, and of piano works and transcriptions which revolutionized the possibilities of the instrument-Derek Watson shows how Liszt the cosmopolitan, a man unique in his breadth of travels and culture, drew on a richly diverse legacy of art, and left his mark of many different schools of composition.
