Description - Franz Liszt : A Catalogue of His Works by Leslie Howard

Much of Franz Liszt's enormous musical output has remained obscure, even unknown, in part because there has been no reliable and comprehensive catalogue of his works until now. The thematic catalogue prepared by pianist-musicologist Leslie Howard and scholar-translator Michael Short presents in definitive form essential information about every one of Liszt's works. Organized alphabetically by title, each mention of each piece is also cross-referenced by genre and translated title or nickname; the Rhapsodies hongroises, for example, are alphabetized under "R" and cross-referenced under "rhapsodies," "Hungarian Rhapsodies," "Ungarische Rhapsodien," and so on. Each entry also contains incipits, information about manuscript and published sources (if any), and references to secondary sources (if any). Vol. 1 (A-K) is scheduled to appear in the Spring or Summer of 2005, Vol. 2 (L-Z) later.
