Extractions: There are many reasons for this gap between the composer and the general public; however, the most important one is the difficulty in performing his piano compositions. And as a great deal of his music was written for this instrument, there are, therefore, few pianists who are able to overcome these extreme difficulties and so present only rare occasions for listening to his music. This has led to a serious absence of his music in concert halls. It is therefore, with great interest that one listens to a pianist virtuoso like Jolanda Sarti , who has demonstrated with this recording to possess all the qualities which classify her among the few pianists able to adequately penetrate the complex Liszterian harmonic structure and to express not only the acrobatic virtuosity of his movements, but the intense hidden poetry.

Extractions: Called 'the ninth wonder of the world', Liszt was truly a musical Romantic. The most dazzling pianist of the 19th century, he was also a composer, conductor, writer, teacher and famous lover; and even took minor orders later in life. He was a great innovator and his piano compositions often demand extraordinary virtuosity from the player. His influence was enormous both in piano composition and orchestral pieces and, through his ideas on harmony and programme music, he became a leading figure of the New German school of music. Liszt, born in Raiding, in Hungary, was taught the piano by his father and took to it eagerly, composing original works when he was eight and soon giving public performances. At ten, he was in Vienna studying with Karl Czerny and Antonio Salieri. His first Vienna concerts were great successes and his fame led to a kiss from Beethoven. In 1823, when he was 12 years old, Liszt's family moved to Paris where he studied with Antoine Reicha, though Luigi Cherubini - who did not approve of Liszt - kept him out of the Conservatoire. Liszt's first Paris concert caused a sensation and in the following year he toured England, playing in London and Manchester and, by command of King George IV, at Windsor Castle. By the age of 14, the prodigy had written many piano compositions and an operetta, 'Don Sanche'. In the next two years, he toured France, Switzerland and England again. It was an exhausting schedule, and at the age of 16 Liszt announced that all he wanted was to become a priest. He did not take holy orders immediately, but the desire seems to have remained in the background for the rest of his life.

Extractions: He was taught the piano by his father and then Czerny (Vienna, 1822-3), establishing himself as a remarkable concert artist by the age of 12. In Paris he studied theory and composition with Reicha and Paer; he wrote an opera and bravura piano pieces and undertook tours in France, Switzerland and England before ill-health and religious doubt made him reassess his career. Intellectual growth came through literature, and the urge to create through hearing opera and especially Paganini, whose spectacular effects Liszt eagerly transferred to the piano in original works and operatic fantasias. Meanwhile he gave lessons and began his stormy relationship (1833-44) with the (married) Countess Marie d'Agoult. They lived in Switzerland and Italy and had three children. He gave concerts in Paris, maintaining his legendary reputation, and published some essays, but was active chiefly as a composer (

Extractions: Home Tutorials ... Contact Is this site useful? Franz Liszt What Was Liszt's Technic Like? This question has been asked of me by students, teachers and other music lovers, with such frequency as to induce me to attempt an analytical description of Liszt's technic, although the tesk is one before which not "to falter would be sin." We usually mean by "technic" a well trained human playing apparatus, a well developed finger mechanism, supported by wrist or arm or both, as the case chances to require. We mean the "mechanical" side of music making; that side which has nothing to do with spirituality except to serve its purposes as an unquestioning underling. This technic can be acquired by any one that has a good drill master and teh requisite persistence in practicing, because it is "mechanical." If in the face of this definition of technic I should speak of such a thing as a "spiritual technic" I should run the risk of being laughed at, and yet - there is such a thing, as we shall presently see is a crude exemplification. Hands and Mind Now let us assume the combination of two things; first, a musical mind that takes rank among the greatest in musical history and second, a pair of hands trained to perfection by Czerny, himself; in other words, a playing apparatus so highly developed as to enable the mind to do with it whatever it pleases; a set of fingers which are the obedient slaves of the player's every whim or caprice and serve the musical mind without its being in the least conscious of the service. If we can stretch our imagination so far as to conceive of this combination we shall have caught a glimpse of the "spiritual technic" which Liszt had at his command. "Spiritual," I must call it, because its base was not mechanism but - personality. (Just as it is not mechanism but personality which speaks in the playing of the aforesaid untrained applicant for lessons.) Let me call it a rudimentary mechanism transformed by personality.
Franz Joseph Liszt Hungarian pianist, composer, and conductor. Lizst was an innovator in his piano andorchestral works, and created new approaches to form. franz liszt embodied http://www.wwnorton.com/classical/composers/liszt.htm
Extractions: In his own words... Hungarian pianist, composer, and conductor. Lizst was an innovator in his piano and orchestral works, and created new approaches to form. Franz Liszt embodied all of the great ambitions of the Romantic era, and many of its contradictions. His life spanned three generations of Romantic composers. In his early life, he was an extravagant virtuoso, the darling of the ladies, and a creator of new and adventurous music. In his old age, he turned to the church, becoming a priest, writing sacred music, and championing the music of a new generation. In 1848, Liszt abandoned his concert career to concentrate more on his composing. He took the post of court conductor to the Duke of Weimar, and it was here that he wrote or revised many of his most well-known pieces. Late in life he moved to Rome, taking minor orders there in 1865. Much of the rest of his life was taken up with composing religious music, although he kept up his career as a teacher and performer, dividing his time between Rome, Weimar, and Budapest.

Extractions: Description: This is a fantasy about Franz Liszt, the great pianist and composer. The film shows Lizst after he has achieved success as a performer. At this point in his career, he finds no satisfaction in just playing what others have written and he is looking for a source of inspiration for his own work. One day, on the streets of Paris, Liszt sees a talented gypsy boy playing the violin. He takes the child under his wing and attempts to train him to perform classical music. In the process Liszt finds the inspiration that had eluded him for so long.
