In the winter of 1841 Franz Liszt gave twenty-one concerts in Berlin in ten weeks, and the city went mad. Fans fought over his gloves and handkerchiefs, kept his coffee dregs in glass vials and wore his cigar stubs in lockets. The poet Heinrich Heine gave the craze a name: Lisztomania. When Liszt left, students and a parade of carriages followed him out of town. The words are imagined.
