Did Franz Joseph Liszt play all instruments?
Liszt wrote more music for piano than any other instrument, however, he wrote a number of songs (for voice and piano), and syphonic pieces - his symphonic poems, for example - which were scored for full orchestra. I don't think he wrote chamber music for other instruments - string quartet, piano trio, etc.
