See? Now you made me seek out Lisztomania (another Ken Russell film) on YouTube. Roger Daltry as Franz Liszt? Why not? |

Terrific article. I love Charles Rosen's writing. His playing, not as much. |

that was a great article.. I like Lizst. he was a working pianist, not always the showman.. His 30 or 60 songs and organ works are pretty neat, ethnic and not that difficult.. He was a brilliant pianist and chose to play concepts with simplicity in spite of his bravissimo technique etc. Many of his works of course I could not begin to play. check out this beautiful organ piece... not that difficult in spite of how wondrous it sounds.. i could learn this and I am not that good of a pianist or organist. I have dabbled shall we say and can almost sight read it. His songs are just like the musical accompaniments i play in churches.. accomodating but not difficult. a very very smart accompanist he was. and he was cute. very cute. |
