Franz Liszt's birth name is Ferenc Liszt.
Liszt was one of the greatest promoters of the piano solo performance. He was the first to start positioning the piano on stage so that the right profile of the pianist would face the audience. Prior to this, the pianist was usually face to face with the audience and this was not optimal in terms of seeing the pianists hands, or in terms of projecting sound to the audience. In effect, Liszt invented the solo piano performance, and thanks to his incredible skill and dazzling performances, audiences became interested in seeing performances that were solely a piano recital, versus the variety style shows which were common at the time. Liszt also embraced and promoted both the geniuses of his time and prior. Without Liszt and his skills as a transcriber, we would not have access to many of the works of Schubert, and other masters of the genre. The great master even spent his final years teaching piano for free.
