Franz Liszt (R) paid tribute to Richard Wagner (L) in a heartfelt musical setting.
If you were asked to pay tribute to someone, you’d want to express your feelings in a heartfelt and personal way.
It’s the same for those writing music to honor a fellow composer, by way of the art form they both love.
In this hour, tributes to Mozart, Brahms, Couperin, Respighi, Copland, and more.
