He also wrote articles championing Berlioz and Wagner, and produced those orchestral and choral pieces upon which his reputation as a composer mainly rests. At the same time, the teacher can broach musical concepts that others students can apply to their own repertoire. I believe that when Liszt played a whole piece to his students, besides the demonstration of some musical ideas, there was a moment of great value: a private recital on the highest level of performance.

A. Denton, Texas December, 1972 Lawhon, Gladys, The Poetic Ideal in the Piano Music of Franz Liszt: A Lecture Recital, Together with Two Solo Recitals and a Chamber Music Recital. Doctor of Musical Arts (Piano Performance), December, 1972, 23 pp., 8 illustrations, bib- liography, 56 titles. The dissertation consists of four recitals: one chamber music recital, two solo recitals, and one lecture recital. The chamber music program included a trio with the violin and cello performing with the piano. The repertoire of all of the programs was intended to demonstrate a variety of types and styles of piano music from several different historical periods. The lecture recital, "The Poetic Ideal in the Piano Music of Franz Liszt," was an attempt to enter a seldom- explored area of Liszt's musical inspiration. So much has been written about the brilliant and virtuosic compositions which Liszt created to demonstrate his own technical prowess that it is easy to lose sight of the other side of his cre- ative genius. Both as a composer and as an author, Liszt re- iterated his belief in the fundamental kinship of music and the other arts. The visual arts of painting and sculpture were included, but he considered the closest relationship to be with literature, and especially with poetry.

It was republished in several editions, including two respected critical ones (FLMW III/12, 1926 and NLA I/4, 1973). But the work itself received scant scholarly attention.

  • Liszt, His Scholars, and the B-Minor Ballade: a Study of Textural Transformation
    LISZT, HIS SCHOLARS, AND THE B-MINOR BALLADE: A STUDY OF TEXTURAL TRANSFORMATION By Stephen Samuel Armstrong A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Musicology – Master of Arts 2014 ABSTRACT LISZT, HIS SCHOLARS, AND THE B-MINOR BALLADE: A STUDY OF TEXTURAL TRANSFORMATION By Stephen Samuel Armstrong Franz Liszt (1811-1886) has long been valued as a colorful and controversial figure in nineteenth-century music, but the early debates surrounding his artistic output continue to influence his reception today. The movement of musicology towards cultural studies has provided scholars with a way to study Liszt within his social context while reframing the musical and moral polemics of his biographers, and the discovery of Liszt’s late piano music allows theorists to interpret Liszt as a harbinger of musical modernism while skirting tired debates over the “New German School.” This divided approach has led to a renewed appreciation of Liszt’s place in compositional and cultural history while setting aside the aesthetic values and problems of his music. In this study, I analyze the intersection between biographical, cultural, and music- theoretical studies on Liszt, arguing that the recent emphasis on cultural and theoretical research does not fully engage a number of Liszt’s best works. Following Joseph Kerman’s call for a music-centered approach in musicology, I offer a close-to-the-text reading of Liszt’s Ballade in B minor (1853) as a case study, revealing how a music-centered analysis can nuance cultural and theoretical approaches. A detailed analysis of the Ballade demands that we treat texture and virtuosity as rational structural elements, and this interpretation reveals new avenues possible in both theoretical and cultural literature: musicologists have generally focused on the significance of Liszt’s virtuosity for cultural and biographical studies, while theorists have privileged other, more mainstream compositional devices as markers of innovation.
