Abstract	Liszt's B minor Sonata is now regarded as his finest work for piano, and one of the pinnacles of Romantic piano music. This is the first book to elucidate this ground-breaking piece for the general reader. The book includes a survey of Liszt's early attempts at sonata composition - which include some well-known pieces that, hitherto, have been unrecognized as sonata forms - and clears away some of the persistent myths regarding programme music in Liszt's output. The central chapters, built around an analysis of the B minor sonata, discuss various interpretative approaches, arguing that the contradictory writings on the subject stem from the deliberate formal ambiguity of the piece itself - one reason for its perennial fascination, perhaps. A final chapter treats the performance practice and performing history of the work, which should be of particular interest to pianists.
