I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I suspect if you can nail down his enormous output to one "most famous" piece, and original composition rather than adaptation of somebody else's music, it's probably the 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody in C sharp minor S244 No. 2. It's a tune that's been used quite a lot in pop culture - think of Looney Tunes Cartoons, and I know it was used in Who Framed Roger Rabbit in the Dueling Piano scene (as played by Daffy and Donald Duck).
After that, perhaps the Mephisto Waltz No. 1, S514. The Mazeppa Transcendental Etude S139 No. 4 (also used in his orchestral symphonic poem No. 6) I would imagine is a better known tune as well. And finally, there's S525 Totentanz, in both an orchestra/piano and solo piano version.
The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 has been used dozens of times in movies and television, so when I hear the name Liszt, that piece is the first thing I think about.
piano concerto No.1 in E-flat
Hungarian Rhapsodies
Piano Sonata in B minor
Hungarian Rhapsody #2, La Campanella, Ave maria, all the Totentanz, Grand Galop Chromatique, Mephisto waltz, Liebastraume and what not.
Franz Liszt, born on October 22, 1811, was a Hungarian conductor, painter, composer, and teacher. One of the most popular music works from Franz is titled "Annees de Pelerinage".
Franz Liszt wrote "The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" and is the most famous of the set.
Franz Liszt was most known for having exceptional skills as a pianist. He was very well known in Europe during his time in the nineteenth century. He was said to be the most technically advanced pianist for his age.
I would say the second Hungarian rhapsody.

Franz Liszt is probably the most famous. Others include Vladimir Horowitz, Claudio Arrau, and Beethoven. Although Beethoven was probably the least talented of these, Horowitz the most. Horowitz, however, was not a composer, although he did make a few transcriptions. He was the best player though. Arrau also was not a composer. Franz Liszt was a composer, and I think had the most knowledge of the keys.

One of his most famous pieces is Hungarian Rhapsody #2, in a series of around twenty Hungarian Rhapsodies.
As in musical composers? Some of the most famous were Franz Liszt, Béla Bartók, and Zoltán Kodály, but Hungary has had countless composers. Examples of some lesser known are Erno" Dohnányi and Ferenc Farkas.
Ludwig van Beethoven, FrΓ©dΓ©ric Chopin, and Franz Liszt are famous composers known for their piano music. These composers have created some of the most iconic and influential piano compositions in classical music history.
Frédéric Chopin, composer, was born March 1, 1810, Żelazowa Wola, Poland and died October 17, 1849, Paris, France. He was influenced by masters such as Johann Sebastian Bach,Franz Liszt, and Friedrich Kalkbrenner.

Liebesträume(German for Dreams of Love) is a set of three solo piano works (S/G541) by Franz Liszt, published in 1850. Liszt called each of the three pieces Liebesträume;[citation needed] but, often they are referred to incorrectly in the singular as Liebestraum(especially No. 3, the most famous of the three). Originally the three Liebesträume (Notturni) were conceived as songs after poems by Ludwig Uhland and Ferdinand Freiligrath. In 1850, two versions appeared simultaneously as a set of songs for high voice and piano, and as transcriptions for piano two-hands.From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebestr%C3%A4ume
Two of his most popular compositions are 'Surprise Symphony' and 'Clock Symphony'. Lark, Frog and Emperor are among his famous string quartets. His other works include more than 30 sonatas for the keyboard.
Schubert wrote many pieces, but perhaps his most popular is his 8th Symphony, the "Unfinished"
