A newly discovered letter by Anna Liszt to her son offers some more information about the relationships between the composer and his mother.
Three letters by Anna Liszt to Mr and Mrs Guiselin – Daniel’s teachers – are also transcribed. They represent clear evidence of the great commitment of the grand-mother to the children’s education.
The transcriptions of the letters and their rich critical apparatus are preceded by an article containing a vivid portrait of the gentle and generous nature of Anna Liszt.
The whole contribution helps to better delineate the threads that characterize particular aspects of Liszt’s relationships with his children and his mother.
