Mostly by Paganini, the greatest violin virtuoso of the time. Liszt wanted to do with the piano what Paganini did with the violin.
Both composers were associated with the devil.
Franz Liszt and Paganini had a mutual admiration for each other's artistry, with Liszt being particularly influenced by Paganini's virtuosic violin performances. Liszt, a pianist and composer, was inspired by Paganini's technical prowess and showmanship, leading him to develop his own style of piano performance that emphasized similar virtuosity. They met in 1835, and Liszt's compositions often reflected the dramatic flair and emotional intensity characteristic of Paganini's work. Their relationship was marked by respect and inspiration, contributing to the evolution of Romantic music.
Franz Liszt's piano teacher in Vienna was Carl Czerny, a prominent pianist and composer known for his technical studies for pianists. Liszt studied with Czerny during his teenage years, where he developed his virtuosic technique and deep understanding of piano performance.

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.
