A flamboyant performer whose hair-raising technical feats at the piano created a sense of awe-inspiring excitement and an icon whose star power radiated far beyond the realm of music, Liszt was, along with his early model, Paganini, among the first major performer-composers to define himself principally by virtuosity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Featuring new essays by an international group of preeminent scholars, \u003ci\u003eLiszt and Virtuosity\u003c\/i\u003e offers a reevaluation of the concept and practices of virtuosity as shaped and defined in Liszt's multifaceted oeuvre, as well as a reconsideration of Liszt's relation to other major and lesser-known musical figures, including Czerny, Schubert, Chopin, Brahms, Debussy, and Marie Jaëll. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Set in the context of larger trends within the fields of music history, music analysis, intellectual history, and performance studies, these capacious explorations demonstrate that Liszt's uniqueness and significance resided in his ability to transform virtuosity into a revolutionary musical force, pushing the piano aesthetic to the limits of sound and poetic meaning.","brand":"Robert Doran","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268203622651,"sku":"9781580469395","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_be95a342-476d-456f-911f-a33011b9fb8d.jpg?v=1775045307","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/liszt-and-virtuosity-9781580469395","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
