  Liszt is so criminally underestimated. He was one of the most innovative composers in history, meanwhile almost everyone remembers him as ,,funni hard piano composer&quot;

  Liszt&apos;s father for the WIN! To understand that moving to Vienna will be for the betterment of your son&apos;s talents and to pack up and leave to do just that takes tremendous dedication and fidelity to one&apos;s family future!

  Liszt childhood encounter with Beethoven should have been mentioned since it was his most cherished memory as he only told it his closest confidants of the encounter. His admiration of Beethoven was such that Liszt funded statues and memorials of his hero across Europe and in the later part of his life transcribed Beethoven’s symphonies into piano. Not to mention Liszt’s joyous playing of Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata.<br>Beethoven to the young Liszt: &quot;Go! You are one of the fortunate ones! For you will give joy and happiness to many other people! There is nothing better or finer!&quot;.<br>This was, as we can imagine, a major event in Liszt&apos;s life since Beethoven was arguably the greatest musician alive at the time. He told this encounter &quot;in a tone of deepest emotion, with tears in his eyes and a warm note of happiness&quot;, describes Ilka Horowitz-Barnay. Liszt was 64 years old when he shared this moment and ended up with this statement: &quot;This event in my life has remained my greatest pride, the palladium of my whole career as an artist. I tell it but very seldom and only to good friends!&quot;.

  Liszt&apos;s work is some of the most versatile and inventive in the entire genre: Works as dynamic as Beethoven, as romantic as Chopin, as proto-impressionistic as you&apos;d ever see in the era and borderline atonal stuff in his later works. His Fantasies &amp; Reminiscences in particular absolutely push the boundaries of what can be done with transcription and reimagination of other composers works. The absolute pinnacle of pianism and my personal favourite composer

  His grave is like a hundret meters away from my house and it feels kind of surreal. His music inspired me in so many ways. He was a real superstar.
