Catalogue Note
The decorations seem to relate to the celebrations in Budapest in 1873 marking fifty years of Liszt's career as a concert pianist. He lived in Budapest from 11 November 1872 until 1 April 1873 and again from October 1873 until May 1874. In 1874, Liszt was made Commander of the Order of Franz Joseph.
