(FERENC) FRANZ LISZT
22^nd October 1811 --- 31^th July 1886

Franz Liszt, (Ferenc) (1811-86), Hungarian composer, conductor and virtuoso pianist, he studied under Czerny and Salieri
in Vienna (1821-3), Paer (1823) and Reicha (1826) in Paris. By this time he had won considerable fame as a pianist in
Vienna, Paris and London. During his sojourn in Paris in 1830-2 he came into touch with a group of composers known as
the romantics such as Berlioz, Chopin, and George Sand, etc. Then it was 2 years later that he began his liaison with the
Countess d'Agoult by whom he had 3 children, including Cosima, who became first Hans von Billow's and then Wagner's
wife.

The next few years were spent travelling in Switzerland and Italy, which he recorded in the Album sun voyageur in 1836
and 1840, it was first published complete in 1842, then several of the pieces re-appeared in the first book of Annees de
pelerinage in 1855. These pieces are the great B minor Sonata (1853) and then followed by the 2 Concertos which are the
finest of his innumerable contributions to pianoforte literature, which include a transcriptions of songs and of symphonic
works, with formidable etudes fantasias on the operas of the day, like the Hungarian rhapsodies, etc.

His chief orchestral writings are connected with his Weimar career (1848-61), e.g. the 13 symphonic poems, the Dante
and Faust symphonies etc. During most of this time period he was very active as an opera conductor and gave the first
performance of several contemporary works. In 1865 he took up minor orders and became an abbe, and hence forward
many of his later works were of a sacred character like Gran in 1855, as well as other masses, Christus, 1866, psalms and
the Requiem for male voices and organ. However his life became divided between religious devotion and his amorous
adventure's. His association with the then Polish Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein was his most lasting relationship. He also
left about 70 songs.
