An extensive life story about one of my favorite composers. Alan Walker's Chopin is a wonderful companion to Chopin's music and an intriguing source for information about his life.

The first volume of Alan Walker's magisterial biography of Franz Liszt the composer. Surpassing all others, this biography provides details of Liszt's family, life, and the culture in which he was raised. A child prodigy if ever there was one, Liszt is brought to life most vividly in this engaging work that covers his life through the 1840s.
