Who was the pianist Franz Liszt?

Franz Liszt was born on October 22, 1811 in Retin, Hungary[1] and was a child prodigy at an early age, giving his first piano recital at the age of 9. In 1821 he went to Vienna to study with Salieri and Cherny, and in 1823 he performed in Paris and in 1824 in London (where he was received by King George IV). 1823-1835 he lived in Paris with Berlioz and Chopin, as well as with literary and pictorial figures. From 1823 to 1835 he lived in Paris, where he socialized with Berlioz and Chopin, as well as with literary and pictorial figures. From 1833 he lived with Countess Marie Dagu and had three children, Cosima married first to Bülow and then to Wagner, and from 1840 to 1847 he toured Europe and Russia, living with Princess Caroline Saine-Wittgenstein. 1848-1859 he was a member of the Weimar Chamber Orchestra, and was a member of the Weimar Chamber Orchestra, a member of the Weimar Chamber Orchestra. In 1848-1859, he became the head musician of the Weimar court, conducting a large number of works in this decade, especially those of Berlioz and Wagner, which made Weimar a prominent center of music. 1850, he conducted the premiere of Lohengrin. The decade was also a fruitful one for Liszt's own compositions: two symphonies, Faust[2] and Dante, twelve symphonic poems, and many other works; from 1860 onwards he lived in Rome at the Estates of Este, and in 1865 he accepted the lowly priesthood as a priest of Liszt, during which time he composed a lot of religious music, including Anecdotes of St. Elisabeth and Christ; and from 1869 onwards he commuted between Rome, Weimar, and Budapest, and from there onwards he traveled to the United States. From 1869 onwards, he traveled between Rome, Weimar and Budapest, and his love affairs remained the talk of Europe. The last five years of his life were devoted to teaching, with students such as Siloti, Lamond and Weingartner, while at the same time entering an important new phase of composition, with important innovations in the harmonies of each piece, such as the "Sorrowful Clouds" and the "Chardonnay of the Dead", which foreshadowed Debussy's "Impressionism". In the same year, he died of pneumonia in Bayreuth, Germany, at the home of his son-in-law Wagner.

Liszt was the most brilliant piano player of the 19th century. Inspired by Paganini, the famous Italian violinist, he was determined to work the same miracle on the piano. His playing style inherited the tradition of dynamic piano music of Clementi and Beethoven, and developed a style of showy 19th-century concert performance. [3-4] In composition, he advocated title music, created the symphonic poem genre, developed free transposition, inaugurated the birth of atonal music, and established the principle of Romanticism as opposed to the academic and civic ethos. What Liszt pursued was a dizzying style of piano playing with showy stunts: extremely fast speed, loud volume, brilliant technique, and exuberant grandeur mesmerized the people of his time. This brilliant and romantic. Piano playing style, rich in personality, to establish a European piano playing art history of the most influential school. Liszt will be the original back toward the listener's playing position into the side, so that the player's emotions and the audience easier to communicate, and the formation of a brilliant and romantic piano playing style rich in personality, he and Chopin in Paris together with the art of the piano pushed to an unprecedented height.

Later in his life, Liszt began to moderate his dazzling virtuosity, especially in his later miniatures, where seemingly simple notes conceal unfathomable mysteries.
