Excerpt from Fifty Songs In preparing for this Album the introduflory Monograph on Robert Franz I have relied fbr fall's upon his own letter to Franz Liszt (dated September 29, 18 55) and Prochazha's Biography. What I have allowed myself to say in the way of criticism is based more upon my own study of his war/es than upon the writings of earlier commentators. In compiling the here appended bibliography, I have had in view only Franz the song-composer, not the Franz who completed scores by Bach, Handel, and other.
