But judging by the position he takes on several issues in his recent Reflections on Liszt (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2005)Google Scholar , Walker has not been persuaded by these or any other critics.

9 Liszt was clearly elated by Fétis's review. He wrote to his Viennese friend Simon Löwy that ‘Speaking of journals, I am enclosing the article that Fétis (my erstwhile more formidable antagonist) has just published in the Gazette musicale. It has been constructed with great skill and neatly encapsulates the issue.’ The composer then asks Löwy to have Fischhof translate it for Böuerle, the editor of the Wiener Theaterzeitung.
