How many sonatas did Liszt write?

Chopin wrote two piano concertos; Opus 11 in E minor and Opus 21 in F minor, both youthful works written before his 21st birthday.

Pianistically, these concertos are artistic wonders. However, most critics (many of them not having properly studied these works in detail) lobby severe criticism at them because of the uneven balance between piano orchestra. It is true that the relatively short orchestra passages take a backseat to the piano part, and they are scored rather conventionally. Yet it is amazing how adequate the orchestral writing is for a young composer lacking experience as well as training in the field. To claim that Chopin "could not compose for the orchestra" is selling this audacious enterprise woefully short, and is denying the sheer genius of the young composer.

Virtuosity and elegance go hand in hand with exquisite melodies and harmonic colours. These most romantic of concertos seem to the listener, to borrow a favorite phrase of Mozart, "to flow like oil".

i dont know look it up

^What kind of answer is that?

When Franz Liszt performed on stage, the pianos he was using weren't as sturdy as they are today and he was also physically strong himself. Because of this, he sometimes went through 2-4 pianos per performance which may have been why he would be considered the "Piano Terminator."
