We hope you’re Hungary for a Lisztening experience this week…

Sorry. But not really. Because this week’s episode is all on the Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt! You may be asking, “How are you theming on a composer?” Good question! We are returning to our Behind the Portraits series to discuss the Romantic-era rockstar, Franz Liszt and a couple iconic works of art that feature him. Just another way in which art and music have intertwined across history! 

 

Art:

Henri Lehmann (1814-1882): Portrait of Franz Liszt (1839) 

Theodor Hosemann (1807-1875): Liszt a koncertteremben (Liszt in the concert hall) (1842)

 

Music: 

Franz Liszt (1811-86): “Pace non Trovo” from Tre Sonetti di Petrarca (1837-39)

Liszt: “Sonnet 104” from Années de pèlerinage (1839-46)

Liszt: Valse à capriccio sur deux motifs de "Lucia" et "Parisina" de Donizetti (1842)

 

All the above music can be found in this week's playlist!
