Chapter received a Stanley B. Greenfield Award for the second year in a row
Our chapter received a Stanley B. Greenfield Award that made possible the purchase of the complete set of compositions by legendary American pianist Earl Wild (a direct link to Franz Liszt through his teachers Egon Petri and Selmar Janson). This wonderful collection will join the complete recordings of Liszt’s piano music (58 vols., many of which are double CDs, for a total of a little under 100 CDs) recorded by pianist and musicologist Leslie Howard, president of the British Liszt Society, purchased last year thanks to a Greenfield Award. Those purchases, in addition to the ongoing purchases of the scores in the complete Liszt Edition (Editio Musica Budapest), and recent purchases of the complete book series "American Liszt Society Studies," certainly enrich our University libraries.
