Franz Liszt Vinyl Records

Franz Liszt was a 19th-century Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist, conductor, music teacher, and Franciscan tertiary. He was a renowned performer throughout Europe during the Romantic period and one of the most influential and controversial composers of the era. He composed a wide variety of works, including symphonic poems, concertos, masses, and lieder. He was also an important contributor to the development of the modern piano.

Liszt's most famous works include the Symphonic Poem "Les Preludes," the Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major, and the Hungarian Rhapsodies. He is also known for his operas, such as Don Sanche and Tasso, as well as for his solo piano works, including the Années de Pèlerinage, the Transcendental Etudes, and the Hungarian Rhapsodies.

An interesting fact about Liszt is that he is credited with inventing the symphonic poem. He was also one of the first composers to incorporate elements of folk music into his works, which helped to popularize the genre. Additionally, Liszt was one of the first composers to utilize the technique of thematic transformation, which was later developed by Wagner and Brahms.
