The essays brought together in Franz Liszt and His World advance our
understanding of the composer with fresh perspectives and an emphasis on
historical contexts. Rainer Kleinertz examines Wagner's enthusiasm for
Liszt's symphonic poem Orpheus; Christopher Gibbs discusses Liszt's
pathbreaking Viennese concerts of 1838; Dana Gooley assesses Liszt
against the backdrop of antivirtuosity polemics; Ryan Minor investigates
two cantatas written in honor of Beethoven; Anna Celenza offers new
insights about Liszt's experience of Italy; Susan Youens shows how
Liszt's songs engage with the modernity of Heinrich Heine's poems; James
Deaville looks at how publishers sustained Liszt's popularity; and Leon
Botstein explores Liszt's role in the transformation of
nineteenth-century preoccupations regarding religion, the nation, and
art.
