Title: Lessons from Liszt.
Authors: Coleman, Peter
Source: Psychologist. Jun2026, p56-59. 4p. 2 Color Photographs.
Subjects: Liszt, Franz, 1811-1886, Aging, Reminiscence, Gerontology, Emotional state, Musicians, Mental depression, Interpersonal relations, Biography (Literary form)
Abstract: This article examines the later-life psychological experiences of 19th-century pianist and composer Franz Liszt through analysis of his extensive personal correspondence. It focuses on Liszt’s persistent engagement with ambitious life goals despite physical decline, emotional struggles including depression, and complex personal relationships, highlighting his ongoing life review and reminiscence processes. The study situates Liszt’s experiences within broader gerontological concepts of assimilation versus accommodation in aging, illustrating the challenges of adapting to losses while maintaining identity and purpose. Liszt’s faith and social connections provided some support, though unresolved conflicts and limited psychological counseling contributed to his inner turmoil. The article underscores the value of rich biographical sources like letters for understanding aging and life review in historical figures. [Extracted from the article]
