The 21 papers explore the multifarious legacy of Hungarian Romantic Franz Liszt (1811-86) as legendary pianist, innovative composer, sought-after teacher, and arresting personality. They also consider the notion of legacy and how it is constructed and received. Among the topics are Liszt's Verbunkos legacy and the paradoxes of Hungarian music, his transcriptions and the issue of authenticity, rethinking the politics of music in the 1850s and 1860s, celebrating him at his birthplace 1936-2011, Carl Czerny and Liszt's early European tours 1823-25 and 1826, and the film Liszt's Dance with the Devil.
