Liszt: Liszt Society
built 644 days ago
Liszt was a mass of contradictions. Elegant and worldly in society though he undoubtedly was, he was ... deeply religious, and did in fact eventually take minor orders in 1865 when he would have been 54 years of age.

In his answer to George Sand's letter of November 22, Liszt wrote, he would very voluntarily receive her in the days of tears. While this was primarily meant as allusion to George Sand's problems regarding her affair with Musset, Liszt could as well have thought of his own situation. There is a further letter of him to Marie d'Agoult which must have been written in the second half of November 1834. At the letter's beginning Liszt wrote, since the beginning of winter[160], he had for a very long time hesitated to give an answer to Marie d'Agoult's last letter. For him himself, nothing had changed during the previous months. He still would not mind opinions of the society, her family or the world.

In November 1820 Adam Liszt took an even better chance to present his boy's playing to the public. In Pressburg, the Diet met for the first time after a break of 13 years. On November 26, at Count Michael Esterházy's palace in Pressburg, Liszt gave a concert in front of an audience of aristocrats and members of the society. A group of magnates secured, for a duration of six years to pay an annual sum of 600 Gulden (Viennese Currency), so that Liszt could study abroad.

The Journal of the American Liszt Society (JALS) is published twice annually. It contains articles written by scholars who research topics related to Liszt, his work or his interests and ideals. For example, because Liszt was an avid supporter of contemporary music in his day, articles on contemporary music have a place in the Journal. As the Journal [I]s intended for performers and scholars alike, articles on music performance and performance practice may be found.
