Hungarian composer and pianist (1811–1866) who takes a place among the first rank of nineteenth-century musicians. His superhuman prowess at the keyboard earned him a singular cachet as perhaps the greatest virtuoso in the history of the instrument. His advanced, forward-looking musical language made him one of the most important and influential composers of the Romantic era; in this regard, his primary benefactor was his son-in-law, Richard Wagner. Unsigned musical quotation in the hand of Franz Lizst, comprising approximately eight two-stave measures on a 9.75 x 3.75 slip of manuscript paper, captioned and signed at the bottom (translated from the German) “Small manuscript from Liszt, attested, Conrad Ansorge, Weimar … 1885.” Ansorge (1862–1930) was a pianist and composer who studied with Lizst in 1885–86. In very good condition, with vertical fold and scattered light creasing and soiling. R&R COA.
