PRESSER CO., Pub's., Phila., Pa. + + + + + HOW TO USE THIS BOOK + + +This book is one of a series known as the CHILD'S OWN BOOK OF GREAT +MUSICIANS, written by Thomas Tapper, author of "Pictures from the Lives +of the Great Composers for Children," "Music Talks with Children," +"First Studies in Music Biography," and others. + +The sheet of illustrations included herewith is to be cut apart by the +child, and each illustration is to be inserted in its proper place +throughout the book, pasted in the space containing the same number as +will be found under each picture on the sheet. It is not necessary to +cover the entire back of a picture with paste. Put it only on the +corners and place neatly within the lines you will find printed around +each space. Use photographic paste, if possible. + +After this play-work is completed there will be found at the back of the +book blank pages upon which the child is to write his own story of the +great musician, based upon the facts and questions found on the previous +pages. + +The book is then to be sewed by the child through the center with the +cord found in the enclosed envelope. The book thus becomes the child's +own book. + +This series will be found not only to furnish a pleasing and interesting +task for the children, but will teach them the main facts with regard to +the life of each of the great musicians--an educational feature worth +while. + + * * * * * + +This series of the Child's Own Book of Great Musicians includes at +present a book on each of the following: + + Bach MacDowell + Beethoven Mendelssohn + Brahms Mozart + Chopin Schubert + Grieg Schumann + Handel Tschaikowsky + Haydn Verdi + Liszt Wagner + + Printed in U.

This house is in Raiding, in Hungary. + + [Illustration: No. 2 + HOUSE IN WHICH FRANZ LISZT WAS BORN] + +Now-a-days there is a little tablet over the door, which tells us that +Franz Liszt was born in this house, on the Twenty-second Day of October, +1811. + + [Illustration: No. 3 + JOSEPH HAYDN] + +Do you remember that once upon a time Joseph Haydn lived as court +musician in the Esterhazy family? He wore a tie wig and a wonderful +bright uniform; for he was master of the music in that great house. + +Now, long after Joseph Haydn's time, Adam Liszt, father of Franz, lived +with the Esterhazy's. He was the family steward, having charge of all +the property. + +And, too, he loved music. So we may believe that he told his little boy, +Franz, about the great master Haydn. For Adam Liszt was not only a lover +of music but he gave his son his first lessons in piano playing. Liszt's +mother was of German blood. She was born in lower Austria. + + [Illustration: No. 4 and No. 5 + LISZT'S MOTHER AND FATHER] + +Little Franz practiced so faithfully and so eagerly, I am sure, that +when he was only nine years of age he gave a concert in public. He +played so well that some good friends offered to send him to Vienna +where he could continue his studies. + +And so the little boy left home and began the studies that led him to +become the greatest pianist of his time. His piano teacher was a man of +whom almost everybody knows. Does he not have a round, good-natured +face? And does he not look kind? Well, he could be severe when his +pupil's lessons did not please him. + +His name was Carl Czerny. Here is his picture. + + [Illustration: No. 6 + CARL CZERNY] + +On New Year's day of the year that little Franz was eleven years old he +played in public in Vienna. It must have been a wonderful occasion. All +the great people were there; and among them was one who was greatest of +all, Beethoven. + + [Illustration: No. 7 + BEETHOVEN] + +Then Adam Liszt thought his boy should go to Paris. He wished him to +become a student in the conservatory there. But its director, Cherubini, +refused to admit Franz to the classes. So, like most of us, he studied +with a private teacher. Also, he traveled to England and to all the +countries of Europe, giving concerts. His fame was becoming greater and +his playing was the delight of all who heard him. Here are two pictures +of Franz as a boy. He dressed differently from boys of to-day. But do +you not think his face is a fine one? Full of light and life and +eagerness? + + [Illustration: No. 8 and No. 9 + LISZT AS A BOY] + +Franz was only sixteen years old when his father died. They had been +good comrades, had traveled together and talked with one another about +music and musicians. The boy must have grieved keenly over the loss of +so good and kind a companion as his father had been. But he went +earnestly to work to earn a living for his mother and himself. He knew +many famous people and we may be sure that everyone helped him. Here are +two of Franz's friends of that time. + + [Illustration: No. 10 + VICTOR HUGO] + + [Illustration: No. 11 + F. CHOPIN] + + [Illustration: No. 12 + AT THE PIANO] + +I am sure you will like to know how Liszt looked as he sat at the piano. +Here he sits playing. You see he had only a simple kind of piano. But he +mastered it so thoroughly that he could make people wonder at his art. +That is what we learn from the lives of famous people. They are always +true to their talent. + +After Liszt had traveled many years over Europe (he never visited the +United States), he became conductor at the Court Theatre at Weimar. This +new music work interested him so much that he gave up travel as a +concert pianist. He helped many composers by having their operas +performed at the Weimar Theatre. Some of the operas that had their first +performance there are now famous indeed. + +Among these were "Lohengrin," "Tannhauser" and "The Flying Dutchman" by +Richard Wagner. + + [Illustration: No. 13 + R. WAGNER] + + [Illustration: No. 14 + R. SCHUMANN] + + [Illustration: No. 15 + F. SCHUBERT] + +Then there were "Genoveva" and "Manfred" by Robert Schumann. Also +"Alfonzo and Estrella" by Franz Schubert was given. It would have +delighted Schubert's heart if he could have heard this; but he, poor +man, had died some years before. + +Then Liszt did something else at Weimar that endeared him to hosts of +pianists. He held classes and taught the secrets of his wonderful +playing to those who were talented and could understand. He was the soul +of generosity. When someone, who was gifted but could not pay, came for +advice, he gave it freely. When concerts did not pay, he himself often +took the loss so that others should not suffer. + +Is it not wonderful to think of a man, so loved by the public, giving +with such great generosity? Truly it is better to give than to receive. + + [Illustration: No. 16 LISZT AND SOME FAMOUS PUPILS + S. Liebling - Rosenthal - Liszt - Dora - Peterson + Siloti - Ans der Ohe - Sauer - Gottschlag + Friedheim - Reisenauer] + +All good and wonderful things live on forever. Even though Liszt moved +from Weimar, spending his last years in Budapest, Rome and elsewhere, he +was not idle. There was always a circle of people about him. And always +his full-hearted, generous nature kept him at work for the good of +others. He reminds us of Beethoven who once said, "Composing is a +capital thing. For instance if a friend is in distress and I have no +money at hand to help him, I can sit down and compose something which I +can sell and so relieve him." It seems that Franz Liszt thought the same +for he was forever helping someone else. + +We have already seen how Liszt looked as he sat at the piano (see +picture No. 12). This is Liszt at the conductor's stand. Do you see his +baton and the score on the desk? And the position of the left hand? When +Liszt conducted the orchestra the players watched every movement of his +hands and every look of his eyes so as to play just as he desired. + + [Illustration: No. 17 + LISZT AS CONDUCTOR] + +Franz Liszt was kind to all people who came to him. There was one +musician, however, for whom he did a great deal. You know him for he +composed many operas. One of them is called "Parsifal." Another is "The +Flying Dutchman." Place his picture here and write his name beneath. + + [Illustration: No. 18] + +Some day the operas of Richard Wagner will give you great pleasure. At +first they were not liked by the public. Wagner had few friends and his +life was very hard. But Franz Liszt believed in him and in his work. And +so he helped him. + +At first Wagner did not like Liszt. He once said, "I never repeated my +first call on Liszt." By this he meant that he wished the acquaintance +to end. When Liszt realized that Wagner did not care to understand him, +he tried his best to keep the friendship secure. Liszt never wished to +misunderstand another human being. So, it was not long before Wagner's +opinion of Liszt changed, for he said, later, "Through the love of this +rarest friend I gained a real home for my art." + + [Illustration: No. 19 + LISZT'S HAND] + +There is one thing true for us all. We carry our early thoughts along +with us all through life. The friends we make from youth and the +thoughts we think from youth are always at hand to bless us if we have +done wisely. + +Once when little Franz was thirteen years old he played before the +English King, George IV. Sixty years later we see him again, once more +the guest of the English people. + +It is pleasant to think of Liszt meeting again and again the friends of +his boyhood. When he went to England, on this occasion, he was quite an +old man. As he stepped out upon the stage to play, for the last time, +everybody, even the people outside of the hall, who could not get in, +shouted themselves hoarse. Those within rose to greet him with tears and +cheers that are given only to the kings of the earth. + + [Illustration: No. 20 + LISZT IN LATER LIFE] + +While we know of this artist chiefly as a great pianist, we shall learn, +as we grow older, that he was a great composer as well. He wrote music +for piano, for orchestra, for the voice. There are symphonies, masses, +oratorios and cantatas. Once, as a boy, he met Franz Schubert in Vienna. +In later years he arranged many of Schubert's songs in a truly +beautiful way for the piano,--songs like the "Erl King," "Thou Art My +Peace," "Hark, Hark the Lark." + +So we may end by saying that Franz Liszt was a great man who remained +simple and big-hearted all his life, and one whom the world loved for +what he did. + + [Illustration: No. 21 + LISZT'S HAND WRITING] + + + * * * * * + + + FACTS ABOUT FRANZ LISZT + +Read these facts about Franz Liszt and try to make a story about him, in +your own language. + +When your story is done, and you have improved it all you can, copy it +in pages 14, 15, and 16 of this book. + +1.

To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
