Franz Liszt

there's a few informations..

opus 1 - studies.

and he used opus number, 1 to 5.

I don't know about opus 2~5..

Only 1, but that sonata is really long and difficult.

He spoke a little tiny bit of Hungarian. He mainly spoke German and French.

that he wrote over 100 piano pieces. Franz Liszt was married to Marie d' Agoult and then broke-up with her and left his 3 children.

Franz Liszt's contemporaries included Chopin, Berlioz, Bruckner, Mahler, Dvorak and Wagner.

Franz Liszt lived in 19th century

To start out the answer... He was born in Raiding, Hungary. To answer the question completely, He did his first concert when he was only nine year old.

Not Jewish for sure. So he is probably German or from one of the surrounding countries

Franz Liszt did not compose La Campanella. Paganini originally composed it for the violin, but Franz Liszt decided to make a piano version of it (and is very different, too).

La Campanella is probably a piece that was inspired by someone else, or perhaps it was just another random piece that Paganini wanted to compose. Maybe he wanted to compose one that sounded, at first, like bells, and had some very good other parts.

Or maybe he wanted to put some of his feelings into that piece.

Anyways, to me, La Campanella is a very exciting piece.

I would say the second Hungarian rhapsody.

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.

Johann Wolfgang von Geothe

Two of the most famous composers and interpreters of all time. Mozart was born in Austria and lived during the 18th century and he's representative of the classical musical period. Liszt was born in Hungary and lived during the 19th century and he's representative of the Romantic period.

Franz Liszt played the piano, and is considered by many to be "the best piano player of all time".

To an extent, all 4 were, but Dvorak was the least of the four - his music was more absolute than romantic/subjective.

To claim someone is the "greatest composer" is a matter of personal opinion. Certainly Liszt was brilliant, and his piano compositions are beyond compare, but whether this qualifies him as the "greatest composer" is a matter of personal preference.
