Cosima was a child of the passionate and stormy union between Franz Liszt and Marie d'Agoult. Cosima's father, still spoken of as the greatest pianist who ever lived, was a legend in his time, and her mother was a beautiful, talented aristocrat who wrote innumerable books. Their daughter, who inherited their gifts, married Hans von Bulow, the brilliant pupil of Liszt, whom he loved as a son. But it was as Cosima Wagner that she fulfilled her promise of greatness and realized the mission that she had felt was hers from her earliest days. Emphasizes Cosima's strength in the marriage to Wagner, in contrast to the more usual portrayal of her as an adjunct to him. Contains 18 black and white photos, and also an Index. $11.90USD
