		This technique helps to bind the sonata's sprawling structure into a single cohesive unit, although the architectural powers of the (Someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)) musician need to be highly developed to achieve this in performance.
		In using this structure, Liszt was obviously influenced by (Austrian composer known for his compositions for voice and piano (1797-1828)) Franz Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy, a work he greatly admired and performed often.
		This may be because the sonata's considerable technical and interpretive challenges place it as one of the most difficult and rewarding works a pianist can undertake.

		Franz Liszt took the bold risk conveying an unprecedented perspective in his Piano Sonata in B minor, published in 1854.

	CD Rewiew: Liszt - Piano Sonata in B-Minor
		Liszt might be the major romantic composer with the longest carrier, and the one who best linked Beethoven to Schoenberg, starting his carrier writing his own version Diabolic Variations and works verging at atonality at the end.
		Liszt composed many highly musical works, but there is on the full output at least something abortive, specific works that fall short of certain demands....and this can be explained, and in the comparision to Wagner it contrasts clearer, as a matter balance between the indented and executed idea.
		The Liszt transcendental works are actually, as to all I am able to percieve them requiring a great intellectual understanding in first place; i.e having a grasp on the sequences, and how the emotional expressions come out is a secondray to that: i.e how the intellect manages to put the sequences in a tasteful way.

	Tjako van Schie - pianist
		Strauss' sonata is structured around simple motifs, and although being a work from his youth, this piece is surprisingly rich in musical contents and expression.
		Liszt's sonata is diabolical, and incorporates all virtuoso elements of the late 19th century, like figured belcanto, octaves, passages, atmosphere-making, and is both lyrical and technical very demanding.
		Where Chopin and Strauss both use a relatively 'classical' sonata form, with 4 separate movements in more or less the same sequence (fast-slow-scherzo-finale), the piece by Liszt is a bit more 'weird' in it's form, as all movements are conceived into one uninterrupted big work, where the theme returns in many disguises.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Liszt Biography
		Liszt was at the center of what became the definitive split between this path and the more conservative and ultimately less influential romantic tradition embodied in the music of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms.
		Liszt stated clearly that he wanted to do for the piano what Paganini had done for the violin, and Liszt went so far as to transcribe a number of the solo violin caprices into highly effective and virtuosic piano music- the Paganini Etudes.
		Liszt's concerts were famous for the fainting and swooning of women in the audience, and while Liszt may have played Beethoven in his studio, his public concerts at this period were not short on display music, mainly composed by himself.

		Since they were first issued, Sviatoslov Richter's Liszt Piano Concertos have been widely admired as the finest performances available, and for most listeners they still are.
		The Sonata, recorded three decades later, shows a different side to Richter, not angry this time, but relaxed both with himself and with the music, thoughtful and contemplative.
		Liszt has also commonly been canonised as the greatest pianist of all time, and it's quite clear that this side of him has to be taken seriously, as it was by Shaw to say nothing of Chopin.

		A woman with deep interests in literature and philosophy and, like Liszt, a devout Roman Catholic, she and Liszt were immediately drawn to each other, and in the autumn of 1848 she finally took up residence with him in Weimar.
		Our greatest debt to Karolina was her early pressure upon Liszt to abandon the endless round of recital giving to which he had devoted much of the previous eight to nine years, and to concentrate instead on composition, a pressure to which Liszt willingly yielded.

	The Life and Times of Franz Liszt
		At age 12, Liszt was refused entry into the Paris Conservatoire (on the basis of being a foreigner) and resorted to private tutoring.
		Liszt and Marie went on to have two daughters and a son, and her wealth provided him with a financial safety net that allowed him to begin composing in earnest, notably a three-part masterwork called Years of Pilgrimage, on which he continued to work in Italy in 1837.
		In 1863, Liszt turned, as he almost had as a lovelorn teenager, to the priesthood, entering a Dominican monastery, although he continued to compose on a piano in his cell.

		The piano concerto is perfectly exemplified by Beethoven's final contribution to what was one of the great musical forms of the Romantic era.
		Liszt also produced many virtuosic piano transcriptions of works by Wagner, but the latter's original writing for piano is perfectly conveyed in the accompaniments to these well-loved songs which he wrote while working primarily on 'Die Walkure'.

		Throughout his career Liszt was highly supportive of his fellow musicians and worked tirelessly to promote their work.

	Liszt Sonata - Snap Review - Full Review
		Albulescu plays a wider range of Liszt’s other piano music, from the unbuttoned hi-jinks of the Waltz from Gounod’s "Faust", to the sombre and enigmatic processional of the second "La lugubre Gondola", while Houstoun gives us pieces which contrast with the Sonata’s high drama, reflective in mood and largely undemonstrative in means.
		Albulescu’s piano is perfectly placed, the biggest climaxes easily contained without harshness or excessive reverberation, and the quieter moments warm-toned and beautifully sustained.
		As the sound resembles that in the recordings of his final two instalments of Beethoven Piano Sonatas (also with Trust) one must conclude that it’s the kind of sound he likes and considers appropriate for the music.

		On Saturday afternoon, a concert devoted to chamber music by Liszt and his circle included deftly scored works like Joachim Raff’s Sextet in G minor and Robert Volkmann’s Piano Trio in F; then their memory was summarily squashed by the pianist Jeremy Denk’s tempestuous rendition of Liszt’s Piano Sonata in B minor.
