	Franz Liszt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liszt is widely considered to be one of the greatest piano virtuosi of all time, and certainly the most famous of the nineteenth century.
		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.

	Island of Freedom - Franz Liszt
		Franz Liszt was one of the most celebrated pianists of the 19th century and one of its most innovative composers.
		Liszt also invented a new form, the symphonic poem, an orchestral composition that follows a literary or other program; it consists of a single movement, generally organized either as a loose sonata form, as in Tasso, or as a one-movement symphony, as in Les Preludes.
		Liszt left Weimar for Rome in 1859 with the Princess Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein, whom he met on a concert tour in Russia in 1847 and with whom he lived until 1863.

	Franz Liszt - Commentary & Biography
		Liszt is documented as being the first person to ever attempt using music as therapy after visiting sick and demorilized patients in hospitals.
		Liszt's "Transcendental Studies" are so perfectly worked together as a whole, contrary to Chopin's, that one seems to travel through a broad spectrum of worldly events which inevitably transports the listener into the transcending realm of Liszt's vivid imagination.
		Liszt in contrast was a major public figure who personally directed all aspects of Weimar's operatic and concert schedule, was barraged by students from all across the globe vying for his time and wisdom, and he perpetually traveled.

		Liszt was never forgotten as they would have hoped, as many great pianists like; Bulow, Friedheim, Horowitz, Earl Wild, Cziffra, Arrau, Jorge Bolet and others kept Liszt alive over the past century since his death.
		It's unfortunate that Liszt had to endure such humiliation, as he would in later life insist to his students not to perform his works in public, since the selfless Liszt didn't wish to hinder their careers.
		Liszt's later years are marked with a new reflective nature with greater simplicity of form yet more extreme in harmony.

	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.

		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.
