Summary

Etude en douze exercises of 1826:

Musical Standard (21 October 1911): 257.

Of the Consolations:

Liszt's Consolation [No. 3] for the Pianoforte sent free on receipt of 12 post-age stamps – “Pure, melodious, and full of sweet and soothing expression” – Daily News. “One of the most charming things of the kind” – Athenaeum. [An advertisement published by] Ewer and Co. 390 Oxford Street, London.

Of Liszt pianos:

An entry in the Broadwood daybook for 4 August 1826 records the sending of a 6 ½ octave grand piano no. 10982 addressed to Monsieur la jeune Liszt pianiste, Rue Chantereine no. 6, Paris (ref: 2185/111/42/17). It was apparently provided as a present for the young Franz Liszt by Thomas Broadwood since it is recorded as being’ a present by order of Mr. T. Broadwood.’ The relevant number book for this piano (ref: 2185/JB/42/233) provides another entry for the piano for 11 January 1827. Unfortunately the page for that date in the number book (ref: 2185/JB/42/18b) is so badly faded that it is unreadable.” An email, dated 13 April, 2005 from Margaret Griffiths, History Centre, Surrey.

Of Die Legende von der heiligen Elisabeth:

“… the first part of St. Elisabeth has repeatedly been given at the Athenaeum [in Manchester] by the finished choir over which Dr. [Henry] Hiles [1826-1904] formerly presided, a great desire was excited to hear the complete work written in so serious and thoughtful a strain…”

Musical Times (1893): 603.

Of Liszt's death mask:

Liszt's Death Mask held in The Royal Academy of Music in London. Committee of Management meeting, Wednesday 26 January 1921, 5.30 p.m.

“Sir Alexander Mackenzie presented a death mask of Liszt, explaining that there were but four or five of those in existence, and he thought it would be more suitable for a Public Institution than a private house. The gift was accepted with acclamation.”
