Unfortunately for him I was his only listener.
Madame Seghers was a woman of great beauty, unusually intelligent and distinguished.

She had been one of Liszt's pupils and was a pianist of first rank.

But she was even more timid than her husband--a single listener was sufficient to paralyze her.

When Liszt was teaching Madame Seghers, he came to appreciate her husband's real worth and entrusted his daughter's musical education to him.

This is sufficient indication of the esteem in which Liszt held Seghers.
