Description

Franz Liszt (1811–1886) was a Hungarian composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher of the Romantic era. Renowned for his virtuosic piano skills, he achieved widespread fame during the 1830s and 1840s, captivating audiences across Europe and sparking "Lisztomania." A key figure in the New German School alongside Wagner, Liszt supported and influenced many composers of his time. He also revolutionized piano education, leaving a lasting impact with innovations like the symphonic poem and thematic transformation. Liszt's later works foreshadowed 20th-century classical trends through experimentation with atonality.
