The Life of a Composer

Of all classical composers, Franz Liszt's was the most colourful: an eccentric and heartthrob, a virtuoso pianist, an intellectual, cosmopolitan and globetrotter. And above all, he composed incessantly. His musical oeuvre comprises 123 piano works, 77 lieder, 25 orchestral works, 65 sacred & 28 secular choral pieces, and numerous arrangements and compositions for organ and other instruments.

Franz Liszt is regarded as the creator of an entirely new genre of piano music and a groundbreaking compositional style. As a pianist, as well, he broke with all the conventions of the time, often drawing on one or more themes from familiar operas and using them as the basis for brilliant piano fantasies.
