		Liszt was one of the few 19th-century musicians to be interested in Gregorian plainsong, but his efforts were frowned on by the ecclesiastical authorities, and much of his sacred music remained unpublished until many years after his death.
		Liszt was not only the greatest piano virtuoso of his time but also a composer of enormous originality and a principal figure in the Romantic movement.
		Liszt extended the harmonic language of his time, even in his earlier works, and his later development of chromatic harmony helped lead eventually to the breakdown of tonality and ultimately to the atonal music of the 20th century.

	How Hungarian was Liszt?
		Liszt was an Austro-Hungarian citizen, but it is unlikely that he was aware of the contradiction implied by calling himself a Magyar.
		But Adam Liszt had another motive for emphasizing his and his son’s Hungarian identity: it was his way of expressing his indebtedness to the aristocrats who supported Franz’s career, from that first concert in Pressburg.
		To many in the audience at that concert, the highlight was Liszt’s performance of a bravura arrangement of the Rákóczi March, the unofficial national anthem of the Magyars (the official Himnusz, with music by Erkel and text beginning “God bless the Magyars,” was not written until 1844).
