it until 1966. In 1973 the house was given to city; the complete
reconstruction of the house was begun in 1974. In 1976 during

In the middle
of the 20th century, many of Liszt’s published works were out of
print and Liszt studies were in their infancy. His most famous
works never left the standard repertoire, but the extraordinary
breadth of his artistic vision was simply not known because vast
areas of his output remained virtually unperformed. Of course,
everybody knew Liszt’s importance as a pianist and as a composer
for the pianoforte, even if only a small percentage of his
output appeared regularly in recital. In recent years, all of
Liszt’s piano music has been performed and recorded, and music
lovers have also been able to hear his oratorios, songs, organ
and chamber music, orchestral works, and even his motets and
masses.
In
1950, British composer Humphrey Searle enlisted the aid of such
important figures as William Walton, Constant Lambert and
Sacheverell Sitwell, and the Liszt Society was formed. It
remains the longest continuously-running Liszt Society in the
world.
The Society’s first aim was to publish significant works
which were out of print, in volumes produced in regular
succession from 1951. Quite a number of works were published for
the first time. Several volumes of piano music were followed by
a volume of songs and, recently, the Society has published all
the music for cello and piano, all the works for piano trio, and
a volume containing two major works for two pianos. Many rare
works have also been reprinted or given their first publication
in the Music Section of the Journal.
The Society’s activities have included piano recitals and
masterclasses (especially by the late President of the Society
Louis Kentner, and by Leslie Howard, the Society’s current
President), members’ soirees, lectures, organ and song recitals,
and chamber music. The Society holds an extensive library
of scores and recordings of Liszt’s music. The Annual General
Meeting, far from being just the gathering required by statute,
has always been a very happy and musical encounter of friends
with a shared and deeply-felt enthusiasm for
Liszt.
Our many hundreds of members are a
national and international community. As well as the many in the
UK, we have members in scores of countries from Australia to
Zimbabwe. They include professional and amateur musicians,
musicologists, academics, students and, most importantly,
enthusiasts from all walks of life, all of whom are happy to
count themselves Lisztians. The Society endeavours to provide
for all aspects of this diverse interest through a variety of
membership
services.
