    We all had heard of the phenomenon that was sweeping across Europe wherever the pianist, Franz Liszt, played. […] Most troubling, at least to the men who reported it, was that it was not maids or shopgirls who were succumbing to Liszt fever but respectable wives and daughters, well-trained women who should have known better.
