1 Speculum Musicae is published through the Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigia Boccherini, which also organized The European Sound in the Era of Liszt in conjunction with the Villa Medici Giulini. The call for papers read as follows: ‘The Symposium aims to investigate different facets of the musical tour in Europe as a phenomenon of the nineteenth century. Taking as its point of departure Franz Liszt’s career as a touring piano virtuoso, composer, conductor and teacher, the conference will explore various composers’ and performers’ European tours; these tours’ relationships with the most important musical centres during the period; the influence of various instrumental approaches and their impact on the development of taste, and Liszt’s own performing style, together with his role as a teacher and as a conductor’. See ‘Past Conferences’, Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini, www.luigiboccherini.org/conferences.html (accessed 3 December 2016).

2 Examples include an excerpt from Liszt’s La romanesca, and his setting of Victor Hugo’s ‘Gastibelza’. See Myers, ‘What is “Spanish” about Liszt?’, p. 128 and p. 130, respectively.

(New York: Routledge, 2013)Google Scholar, and Hamilton, Kenneth, ed., Cambridge Companion to Liszt (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005)CrossRefGoogle Scholar. Both volumes contain chapters on Liszt’s vocal music, as do various broader surveys of choral music, art song and stage works.
