Edited by Nicholas Hopkins

Nicholas Hopkins has carefully selected and edited this collection of 30 late piano works by Franz Liszt, many of which remained unknown and unperformed into the late twentieth century. Also included is a scholarly essay which discusses the influences of life events on the composer’s work as well as analyses that demonstrate the musical originality in many of these pieces. The singularity and power of this music owe as much to its stylistic originality as to the external forces that influenced it.
