About the book

An astonishing upsurge of interest by artists, the listening public and the recording industry reflects a significant change in Liszt's standing. Thirty years ago he was seen as a peripheral and rather extreme figure of the Romantic age. Now he is counted a central, even the central figure of mid-nineteenth-century music. My aim has been to provide the fullest introduction to his life and work available to date in a single volume. - Preface.

First sentence: The genius of Liszt is by its very complex nature hard to define.
