Franz Liszt: A Research and Information Guide is an annotated bibliography concerning both the nature of primary sources related to the composer and the scope and significance of the secondary sources which deal with him, his compositions, and his influence as a composer and performer.

Franz Liszt was born on 22 October 1811 at Raiding, today located in Austria’s Burgenland. He received his first piano lessons from his father, Adam Liszt, an employee of the celebrated Eszterházy family. Young Franz was quickly acclaimed a prodigy, and in 1820 a group of Hungarian magnates offered to underwrite his musical education. Shortly thereafter the Liszts moved to Vienna, where Franz studied piano and composition with Carl Czerny and Anton Salieri.

Uno degli eventi più importanti e decisivi della storia del Novecento, la Rivoluzione d'Ottobre, ha avuto, come è noto, ripercussioni cruciali anche nel mondo delle arti. Anzi, si potrebbe forse affermare che proprio l'Ottobre sia stato uno di quei momenti della storia della modernità in cui diversi ambiti della vita si sono in effetti mescolati, modificandosi e influenzandosi a vicenda: la politica, la cultura, l'arte, la morale, persino gli affetti. Il Convegno di cui qui pubblichiamo gli Atti – organizzato dalla Sezione Media Musica e Spettacolo del Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell'Università di Torino – ha inteso discutere tanto del ruolo delle arti durante gli anni della Rivoluzione (in particolar modo del cinema, della musica e del teatro) quanto delle eredità che quelle opere e quei maestri hanno consegnato al Novecento maturo, attraverso la discussione di casi specifici ma anche grazie ad alcuni interventi di artisti, preziosissimi come sempre.
