Description: Liszt's Final Decade reveals in the composer's own words to his confidantes Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein and Olga von Meyendorff how he resolved his conflicted self-image as a celebrated performer but underappreciated composer.
Review Quotes: The product of painstaking scholarship. It brings to light unpublished letters and treats this period of Liszt's life in great detail, revealing new information about his attitudes toward composition and his general world-view...Most importantly, it realigns our understanding of Liszt's late output, moving the focus away from a handful of famous pieces.--Joanne Cormac "MUSIC & LETTERS"
