About Franz Liszt

Born in 1811 in Hungary, Franz Liszt was a composer, virtuoso pianist, conductor, and teacher whose innovations defined the Romantic era. Renowned for his extraordinary piano technique, Liszt expanded the expressive possibilities of the instrument, crafting works that are both technically challenging and emotionally powerful.

Liszt’s close relationship with his son-in-law, Richard Wagner, underscores his profound impact on the musical world. While Wagner revolutionised opera, Liszt transformed the realms of symphonic and piano music, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire both performers and audiences across generations.
