Description: THE BOY LISZT PLAYS FOR BEETHOVEN Carl Czerny, pupil of Beethoven, arranged to have his own young pupil, Franz Liszt, to play for the great master. Liszt was then but eleven years old. In writing, later, of this meeting, Liszt said, "I played the first movement of the Concerto in C major; and, when I had finished, Beethoven grasped me with both hands, kissed me on the forehead very softly and said, "Go, thou art blessed; because you will bring joy and blessings to many others. There is nothing finer or more beautiful in all the world." The drawing is by Rudolf Lipus.
