About — The artist
Franz Liszt Doborján (now Raiding), Kingdom of Hungary, Austrian Empire, 22 October 1811–Bayreuth, German Empire, 31 July 1886) was a Hungarian Romantic composer, a virtuoso pianist, orchestra conductor, piano teacher, arranger and Franciscan tertiary. His name in Hungarian was Liszt Ferencz, or in modern usage Liszt Ferenc, and from 1859 until 1865 he was officially known as Franz Ritter von Liszt.
Liszt became famous throughout Europe during the nineteenth century for his great skill as a performer. His contemporaries claimed that he was the most technically advanced pianist of his era and perhaps the greatest of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, an orchestra conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a patron of other composers and artists, performers or executants, in particular of Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz, Camille Saint-Saëns, Edvard Grieg and Aleksandr Borodin.
As a composer, he was one of the most prominent representatives of the New German School ("Neudeutsche Schule"). He wrote an extensive and varied body of works for piano (rhapsodies, studies, transcriptions, and so on), in a concertante style for piano and orchestra, and also an extensive orchestral output. He influenced his contemporaries and successors, and anticipated some ideas and trends of the twentieth century. Among his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, the development of the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form, and radical departures in harmony.
