He was born in Doborján, Sopron County, Hungary. His father, Ádám Liszt, clerk to Duke Esterházy, recognized his son's exceptional musical talent early on and seized every opportunity to develop it. At the age of nine, Liszt was already playing the piano in public in Sopron and Bratislava, and soon, with the support of art patrons, he was able to continue his studies in Vienna as a student of Czerny and Salieri. He presented himself in Vienna on December 1, 1822
In 1920/1921, a strip of Hungarian territory was transferred to Austria and Doborján was renamed to Raiding, in the district of Oberpullendorf. Around that period, the strip of transferred land became known as Burgenland.
Liszt became renowned throughout Europe for his great skill as a performer during the 1800s. He is said to have been the most technically advanced and perhaps greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner and Hector Berlioz.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind a huge and diverse body of work, in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some twentieth-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony.

If any of you fellow pianists desire to play this masterpiece of a song but are discouraged by the complexity and appearance of the sheet music, don’t be. My wonderful piano teacher helped me decipher this piece, and showed how logical all the parts are. First of all, you should obviously be using both hands for the kind of phrases found in the beginning. Also, most of the piece follows scales that repeat the same notes going up and down, the scales just change throughout the music. Most of the piece is not hard as if you inspect each “difficult” section like the part around the middle before the scale change when everything goes down, you’ll find all the patterns and tricks Liszt used to compose the piece. Good luck to all you pianists learning this intimidating piece!

most important tip: jump around, don't twist your wrist
@tonimikael
Thank you!

@Devin Belver I would definitely recommend you watch musicians that play with an overhead view of the hands, such as Rousseau and Paul Barton for this piece. Just sit down with the sheet music in hand and take notes while making observations. It might be boring, but it will pay off for all the time you won't have to spend fiddling around with fingerings! :)

Probably one of the best musical compositions ever made by the man.

I remember the first time I heard this I made a new friend and she was a very skilled pianist and she began playing it and literally 2 seconds in I was blown away and completely mesmerized it's one of my most treasured high school memories
