  Franz Liszt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liszt also contributed greatly towards the Romantic idiom; he is credited with the invention of the symphonic poem.
Liszt was born in the village of Doborján, near Sopron, Hungary, in what was then the Austrian Empire (Doborján is now Raiding in Austria after the Treaty of Trianon of 1920).
Liszt pioneered the technique of thematic transformation, a method of development which was related to both the existing variation technique and to the new use of the leitmotif by Richard Wagner.

 Franz Liszt Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Liszt was friends with many of the cultural icons of the 19th century, such as composers Hector Berlioz, Richard Wagner and Frederic Chopin, as well as artist Eugene Delacroix and poet Heinrich Heine.
One of the most important meetings in Liszt's early life was his witnessing of the concerts of diabolical violinist Niccoló Paganini, something which is said to have inspired him in his quest to make the piano the supreme virtuostic instrument.
Liszt's relationship with d'Agoult eventually ended, and Liszt went on to live with Princess Carolyn Sayn-Wittgenstein, who is sometimes considered an important factor in his decision to focus on composing rather than performing.

 Liszt, Franz, Hungarian FERENC LISZT (b
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plainsong, but his efforts were frowned on by the ecclesiastical authorities, and much of his sacred music remained unpublished until many years after his death.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.

 CER | Franz Liszt: Absentee father of "Gypsy music"
Liszt offended his Hungarian contemporaries by claiming that all Hungarian music was based on "gypsy rhythms." His reputation survives as a champion of the Roma and their musical expertise.
Liszt sought to prove that merely being persecuted and stateless was not enough to excuse the Jews for their material success and ambition.
Liszt's thesis was: the gypsies glorified God through the creation of natural beauty in the form of music; the Jews could only manage the worldly creations of money and crafted goods.

 Franz Liszt
Liszt's personality appears contradictory in its combination of romantic abstraction and otherworldliness with a cynical diabolism and elegant, worldly manners.
Two formal traits give Liszt's compositions a personal stamp: experiment with large-scale structures (extending traditional sonata form, unifying multi-movement works), and thematic transformation, or subjecting a single short idea to changes of mode, rhythm, metre, tempo or accompaniment to form the thematic basis of an entire work (as in Les préludes, the Faust-Symphonie).
Liszt invented the term 'sinfonische Dichtung' ('symphonic poem') for orchestral works that did not obey traditional forms strictly and were based generally on a literary or pictorial idea.
