The best word that describes the
works of Franz Liszt is "virtuosity“.
He was known as the virtuoso
pianista, a composer and the
busiest musician during the
Romantic Era. He played and
studied in Vienna and Paris while
performing in concerts in the rest
of Europe.
Liszt was born in the village Doborjan,
Hungary. He displayed remarkable talen at
a young age and easily understood sight
reading. His father was his first teacher at
age six(6). A turning point came when in
his early twenties, Liszt heard the virtuoso
violinist Niccolo Paganini perform so he
decided to dedicate himself in becoming a
virtuoso pianist.
He was known for his symphonic poems where
he translated great litetary works into musical
composition. He also made piano transcription
of operas and famous symphonies. Many of his
piano compositions are tecnically challenging
pieces.
He was also known with his generosity in
sharing time and money to the orphans, victim
of disasters, and the many students he taught
music for free.
Lisztdied in Bayreuth, Germany, on 31 July
1886, at the age of 74, officially as a result
of pneumonia, which he may have
contracted during the Bayreuth Festival
hosted by his daughter Cosima. Questions
have been posed as to whether medical
malpractice played a part in his death. [35]
He was buried on 3 August 1886, in the
municipal cemetery of Bayreuth against his
wishes.
Some of Liszt’s Piano works:
“La Campanella”
“Liebestraume no. 3”
Liszt’s”Hungarian Rhapsodies“ were originally written for
solo piano, but many were arranged for orchestra or
other combinations of instruments. The Hungarian
Rhapsody no. 2 is thre most popular and was the basis for
the “Tom & Jerry” cartoons called the “Cat Concerto
Un Sospiro
Sonata in B Minor
Arrangements of the 9 Beethoven Symphonies
Transcriptions of lieder by Schulbert

La Campanella- "La campanella" (Italian for "The
little bell") is the nickname given to the third of
Franz Liszt's six Grandes études de Paganini,
S. 141 (1851). It is in the key of G-sharp minor.
This piece is a revision of an earlier version from
1838, the Études d'exécution transcendente
d'après Paganini, S. 140. Its melody comes from
the final movement of Niccolò Paganini's
Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, where the tune
was reinforced metaphorically by a 'little handbell'.
This is portrayed by the top note jumps that need
to be played within the timeframe of a 16th note.
Liebestraume no. 3-Liebesträume (German
for Dreams of Love) is a set of three solo
piano works (S.541/R.211) by Franz Liszt,
published in 1850. Originally the
three Liebesträume were conceived as lieder
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.
Hungarian Rhapsodies-The Hungarian Rhapsodies, S.244,
R.106 (French: Rhapsodies hongroises, German: Ungarische
Rhapsodien, Hungarian: Magyar rapszódiák), is a set of 19
piano pieces based on Hungarian folk themes, composed
by Franz Liszt during 1846–1853, and later in 1882 and
1885. Liszt also arranged versions for orchestra, piano duet
and piano trio.
Some are better known than others, with
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 being particularly famous and
No. 6, No. 10, No. 12 and No. 14 (especially as arranged for
piano and orchestra as the Hungarian Fantasy) also being
well known.
In their original piano form, the Hungarian Rhapsodies are
noted for their difficulty (Liszt was a virtuoso pianist as well
as a composer).
Sonata in B Minor-The Piano Sonata in B minor (
German: Klaviersonate h-moll), S.178, is a sonata
for solo piano by Franz Liszt. It was completed in
1853 and published in 1854 with a dedication to
Robert Schumann.
Beethoven Symphonies-Beethoven
Symphonies (French: Symphonies de
Beethoven), S.464, are a set of nine transcriptions
for solo piano by Franz Liszt of
Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies 1–9. They
are among the most technically demanding piano
music ever written.
Orchestral Composition
Symphonic Poems (“Hamlet”, “Les Preludes”)
-The symphonic poems of the Hungarian composer
Franz Liszt are a series of 13 orchestral works, numbered
S.95–107.[1] The first 12 were composed between 1848 and
1858 (though some use material conceived earlier); the
last, Von der Wiege bis zum Grabe (From the Cradle to the
Grave), followed in 1882. These works helped establish the
genre of orchestral program music—compositions written to
illustrate an extra-musical plan derived from a play, poem,
painting or work of nature. They inspired the
symphonic poems of Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák,
Richard Strauss and others.
