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.

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.

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
