Allievi transilvani di Liszt: Elza Bogáthy

Elza Bogáthy was associated with Liszt’s circle in Rome probably between 1868 and 1870. Two unpublished letters attest to their contact. There are no extant documents related to her life prior to this period, and also information about her family is very scarce. As a pianist she appeared as a soloist and as an accompanist in several concerts and other performances before 1877. For the most part, she played music by Liszt and Chopin. Fancsali’s article is based on reviews of her concerts in Kassa, Székesfehérvár, Vienna, Kőszeg, Kolozsvár, Pest, Nagyszeben, and Nagyenyed.
