Villa D'Este, Lago di Como |
However, F.L. did indeed spend months at Lake Como, filled with feelings of romance and inspiration, and awaiting the birth of Cosima. According to Alan Walker's "Franz Liszt: The virtuoso years, 1811-1847" FL and his lady Marie often went out on the lake in the evenings, fishing by torchlight!
So it was not hard to have a drink in front of the Villa, imagining the great composer, then to wander those magnificent colinas behind, up to the top of the property. There was the vista, the glistening water, the boats gliding across the surface, the tall trees. They all sang melodies to me.
