Dr. Alan Walker’s three-volume biography of Franz Liszt, took him 25 years to complete and has been called "monumental" and "magisterial", and it is said to have "unearthed much new material and provided a strong stimulus for further research". The Washington Post music critic Tim Page, including the third volume in his best books of the year list, called it "unquestionably a landmark" and "meticulously detailed, passionately argued and sometimes wrenchingly moving". Walker has also written substantially about Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin, and continues to lecture in Canada, the U.S., and UK on all three musicians.
