Franz Liszt student Alexander Siloti
Later students
After Liszt settled in Weimar, his pupils steadily increased in number. By his death in 1886, there would have been several hundred people who in some sense could have been regarded as his students. August Göllerich published a voluminous catalogue of them. In a note he added the remark that he had taken the connotation of "student" in its widest sense. As a consequence, his catalog includes names of pianists, violinists, cellists, harpists, organists, composers, conductors, singers, and even writers.
A catalog by Ludwig Nohl was approved and corrected by Liszt in September 1881. This gave 48 names, including:
Carl Baermann,
Franz Bendel,
Hans von Bronsart,
Hans von Bülow,
Julius Eichberg,
Arthur Friedheim,
Karl Klindworth,
William Mason,
Sophie Menter,
Karl Pohlig,
Dionys Pruckner,
Julius Reubke,
Eduard Reuss,
Giovanni Sgambati,
Karl Tausig,
Vera Timanova,
Józef Wieniawski,
Alexander Winterberger, and
Juliusz Zarębski. Nohl's catalog omitted, amongst others, Károly Aggházy and Agnes Street-Klindworth.
By 1886, a similar catalogue would have been much longer, including names such as Eugen d'Albert,
Conrad Ansorge,
Walter Bache,
William Dayas,
August Göllerich,
Carl Lachmund,
José Vianna da Motta,
Moriz Rosenthal,
Emil Sauer,
Alexander Siloti,
Bernhard Stavenhagen,
August Stradal,
István Thomán,
and
Bettina Walker.Some of Liszt's students were disappointed with him. An example is Eugen d'Albert, who eventually was almost on hostile terms with Liszt. Felix Draeseke, who had joined the circle around Liszt at Weimar in 1857, is another example.
