Hey Peoples!
As you see I'm new to the forums, so a friendly
"Hello" to all.
I must set forth a proclamation to those who can understand the excitement that's forever within my heart.
I ADORE FRANZ LISZT!
(and I know Franz Liszt was technically of the Romantic Era so not Classical, but this is the best place)
Like many Americans, Bugs Bunny was my first exposure to this charming virtuoso, but there is so much more to the man. For all his faults as a human, I just adore him, his music and his style.
I know some may not care for him, but if I was living in 1840's I would have certainly been a supporter. I love his style of teaching, his philopshjes, and nearly every composition; his piece, " Au bord d'une source" enlightens my whole being!
Has anyone read the three volume biography by Alan Walker? I've read the first, and it's such a great read.
Thank you for letting me share this, and I know many don't share this love of Liszt as much as I. It's all good. Certainly, you can share what it is that you don't find appealing about Master Liszt.
(My other love is Chopin.
