The most inovative, modern and influencive composer of 19th century who made the most magical harmonies, inovative forms, structuries and evokating passages and tender romantic melodies. Also man, whose pianism and solidarity knew no bounds!
Very nice short. The love and appreciation for Liszt has been a part of my entire life. My 95 year old mother, as a young girl studied piano with one of Liszt last students.
A nice video, Paul. Thank you. I'm not a musician; but, ever since "getting" the piano sonata, I've become more and more fascinated by Liszt's music and his thoughts and ideas. Recently, I've been getting to know his 'Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude', the 'Années de pèlerinage', and 'La Lugubre Gondola'. All blessed and deeply meditative pieces that are rewarded by repeated listening and contemplation. I think that Liszt must now rank within my top 5 classical composers of all-time.
@@classicalplayer255 His father was Hungarian but his mother not. And he couldn't speak Hungarian. He was a great composer anyway, and I'm Hungarian too 😊
Great video! Thanks for sharing :) Just a quick question: Could you type out what you are saying around 3:00, after the following sentence "Traveling in Europe became too dangerous after less than ten years ... "? Many thanks!

Too bad his songs (voice and piano) aren't as famous as the piano and orchestral works. The Italian songs, especially, are crown jewels of the vocal repertoire.
This has to be one of the most ignorant comments I've ever read. Not only did Liszt's compositional genius completely outshine Taylor Swift's, but he also influenced posterity to a far greater extent. Liszt directly foreshadowed Impressionism and the musical schools of the early 20th century with works such as the Bagatelle sans tonalité, Les Jeux D'Eaux À La Villa D'Este, Nuages gris, Csárdás Macabre, and the Three Apparitions (which were composed in the early 1830s!). Debussy idolized Liszt and openly adopted elements of his style (especially the aforementioned Jeux D'Eaux and Nuages gris). Liszt also influenced his contemporaries, most notably Wagner; in fact, he taught the latter about the art of orchestration. Liszt's harmonic innovations propelled him to the forefront of European Romanticism - Swift never reached such a level, nor did she influence anyone to the extent Liszt did. Liszt's symphonic poems had a major impact on the history of music - some of the most important composers of the 19th and 20th centuries modeled their orchestral styles after his, and the great Russian orchestrators (especially Rimsky-Korsakov) took after his compositional techniques. Not to mention, Liszt's capacity to bring out novel effects from the piano to evoke orchestral instruments (consider S.137, S.139, S.140, S.141, S.126, S.464) eclipsed hers. Liszt's melodies are more beautiful, his harmonies more innovative, his counterpoint bolder, his orchestration more inspired (as if Taylor Swift even did any), and his music more substantial. In her works, the variation is minimal and she repeats the same melody over and over again. The bravura and repetition in Liszt's opera fantasies only serve to enhance the music. Reminiscences de Don Juan, for example, uses octaves to convey the power of the final damnation scene from the original opera; Reminiscences de Norma's bravura helps enhance Liszt's inimitable skill of thematic transformation/combination. The Hungarian Rhapsodies were composed to celebrate Liszt's native culture and are packed with interesting, fantastical melodies (his Romanian and Spanish Rhapsodies, as well!). They're anything but repetitive; and some of the greatest jewels of the piano repertoire can be found in them. Have you heard his Lieder? They are some of the most beautiful works a person can hear. Listen to Die Lorelei (you'll hear one of the most notable examples of a pre-Wagner tristan chord, though it doesn't function the same way as the one Wagner himself used). I also recommend listening to all of the Années de Pèlerinage; true masterpieces are within. Liszt's music can be pensive, triumphant, potent, resplendent, aureate, powerful, subtle, and utterly vibrant at times. I urge you to reconsider your view of Liszt, for he is one of the most crucial figures in music history! Liszt had no "limits"! He was, along with Wagner, the most forward-thinking composer of the 19th century, and his grand compositional scope ranged from folk music to sacred vocal works, and everything in between. If anyone in this case is/was limited, it's Taylor Swift... not Liszt. Liszt's music contains some of the most fascinating content one can hear. Please... take a deeper dive into the works of the great Franz Liszt, for he was one of the most interesting people who ever lived.

Leda, who is your national composer. Is it Liszt or Bartok?
Reve d"amour i d'never listened nothing compare like that.danke Liszt .❤️
Awesome video, Liszt rules.
I'm a fan of:
Liszt, Mozart and Salieri!
Why Saleri he poisoned Mozart
@@mantisninja4945 ok
@@ampro4123 That is acording to the movie Amadeus, in real life they were friends
I don't know who my favourite composer is, they are all great in my opinion, but I respect yours just dee
@@noalapizza-paella3986 oh
I would love to listen to the recording of Liszt. But it was such a misfortune that he died before they can record music.
Piano concerto no.1 and Hungarian Fantasy too
Thank you so much you helped a lot!
my dear Liszt
He was not born the Austro-Hungarian empire, he born in Hungary, Doborján
But he's roots was Slovakian ..
He was hungarian and he always sayed he is a hungarian, thats why he write hungarian rhapsodies and not slowakian rhapsodies ;)
@@classicalplayer255 His father was Hungarian but his mother not. And he couldn't speak Hungarian. He was a great composer anyway, and I'm Hungarian too 😊
there is no subtitles :(
Great vid
IM A FAN OF FRANZ LISZT, ERIC SATIE AND I LIKE SOME OF CHOPINS MUSIC TOO. BUT OF NOW, CHECK OUT PETER GUNDRY. I LIKE HIS SHADOWS BRIDE.
YAY LISZT！
Thank you for the time you spent on this. Would you be able to put your sources from your resesrch?
Wish I could. Mostly what I learned in music history when I was younger. I don't remember the exact sources.
Real footage of Liszt in a masterclass - ua-cam.com/video/DMJwfIxFWhw/v-deo.html
Can anyone repeat what the narrator said I don’t really understand what did he said 😅😅
I understand almost everything he say. But with subtitles this video would be better
Would somebody tell me the name of the opening music?
Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2
Thanks so much

"and after 10 years Liszt ceased touring."
@@pcsige Makes sense! Many thanks :)
look its that guy that killed Mozart first guy in the pic 0:43
Salieri was a great composer and teacher, he shouldn't be known for a rumor that he poisoned Mozart
dj100024 2.0. theres no evidence that he didn't didn't kill mozart
Daniel14Gamer
There's no evidence he did either
salieri is a thirsty rat
he didnt kill him mate.... he was a friend of him and between the 2 mozart was the jealous one because of the financial state
Liszt was the probably Mozart reincarnated, and probably Freddie Mercury....
I see him as David Lee Roth in his future life........
Excellent overview! .... Check out "FRANZ LISZT: Enigmatic Genius" on youtube for more

its not a song
@@pavlosgermanidis2754 I just want to know the title

Wait he was ferenc?
I think that is the Hungarian pronunciation
yes, his real name is Ferenc. Franz is just the English form of his name. Just like in Hungarian Sofia is Zsófia or Elizabeth is Erzsébet.
@@klematiszromanne2728 wasnt franz a german name that he adopted later ?
This is too short
La Campanella
Need subtitle bruh
This told VERY little.

Ferents?

Ha ha ha ha! You verry good
what is the piece of music in the beginning?
That's Liszt's 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody.
Do you even Liszt bro
look its that guy that kill Mozart 43 first guy in the pic
Franz, not Ferenk.
In Hungary, where he was born, it's Ferenc. Franz is the Germanic way to say his name. Like: John (English) Juan (Spanish)
@@pcsige OK, thanks for the explanation!
This is true. His real name is Liszt Ferenc. Because in Hungary we use our surname first. And Franz is not a Hungarian name...
@@klematiszromanne2728 he literally just explained it
Seriously? you made a video about Liszt using Beethoven's Diabelli variations as background music???
Really? None of them are from Beethoven. The pieces in this video are Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, and La Campanella from Liszt.
He’s no Taylor Swift but I guess for his time he was ok.
