In the Footsteps of Liszt in Geneva
In the Footsteps of Liszt in Geneva

Summary/Abstract: Ifollowed a three-stage plan on my journey to Geneva. First of all, I wanted to visit the conservatory where the young Liszt had taught a piano class for a semester. Secondly, I wanted to find the apartment where he lived and thirdly, to track down a little-known artist who made a portrait of the composer. Liszt could not have taught in the present conservatory building. It was not built until 1857–58, whereas the great pianist had assumed his teaching duties back in 1835. At that time the conservatory was housed in the St. Pierre Casino building.
