For several years, the Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum and Research Centre of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music has sought to draw the attention to the rare, unpublished manuscripts held in its collections. The value of these mostly unknown manuscripts is all the greater, since these transcriptions of works by Liszt were either made by the composer himself or he sanctioned them by only asking for minor revisions. Thus, each of these versions can, to a certain extent, be considered an authentic Liszt work. This digibook consists of a DVD and a study. In the recordings, made by the AVISO Studio, the works are performed by professors of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, while the accompanying texts give information on both the works and performers in four languages (HU, EN, DE, FR).
