CHOICE Review

This volume covers the early life of Franz Liszt until 1835, when the composer was 24. The works that Liszt studied and performed, the books that he read, and the logistics of his concerts and travel are all discussed. Liszt emerges as an innocent, albeit a supremely gifted and charismatic one. The tone is more domestic than scholarly: for the authors, Liszt is never "Liszt," always "Franzi." No book in English is directly comparable to this one, although it covers much the same ground as volume 1 (The Virtuoso Years, 1811-1847, CH, Sep'83) of Alan Walker's three-volume Franz Liszt (1983-96). Since Walker travels an additional 12 years--12 significant, fascinating years--he does not describe young Liszt's daily life with quite the detail that the Zauskis provide. The Zauksis are more anecdotal and allusive than Walker, more inclined to stop and discuss a minor character. Thus, their charming yet useful and eminently readable book is a worthy complement to Walker's great study and may be recommended to all general and academic libraries with music collections. B. J.
