€34.75Soon after the appearance of the Dutch version (AB III-02), I translated this cultural-historic study into English. However, this version is not a literal translation. I have tried to tailor the content to the interests of an international readership. The main difference between the two versions lies in the fact that I decided to curtail the sections on Liszt’s Mazeppa music and to deal with them in depth in a separate book (AB III-06).

Part II describes the genesis of the Symphonic Poem Mazeppa. Part III discusses the history of the performance and reception of Liszt’s Mazeppa music, which caused a great deal of controversy. The final chapter presents an overview of the many curiously contrasting opinions on this composition.

€23.95This richly illustrated booklet (full colour) describes the journey that Franz Liszt and Marie d’Agoult made through Switzerland in the summer of 1835. The author traced this journey on the basis of Liszt’s Agenda 1835 and the recently published diary excerpt Le voyage en Suisse by Marie d’Agoult, following in the lovers’ footsteps. The result is somewhere between a musicological study and a ‘holiday diary’. With a generous English summary.

€28.50The book opens with a Preface by Martin Kloos and a Foreword by Jan Wijn. There then follow 17 chapters covering the complete piano technique, always linking the technical/physical aspect to the artistic dimension and referring to the regular piano literature through a great number of music examples. Towards the end of the book, the author strikes a completely philosophical/spiritual tone with chapters such as ‘Inner sound image’ and ‘Portrayal and artist’.

Price range: €32.50 through €42.50This book is halfway between a collection of musicological studies that in many ways correct and supplement the official Liszt literature, and a number of travel accounts in which the author recounts his sometimes adventurous, sometimes amusing experiences ‘in the footsteps of Franz Liszt. ‘ Like an invisible companion, he travelled with him and took many a photograph over his shoulder; the all-colour book contains 238 illustrations.
