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.

Liszt's answer to his neighbour when he asked him, "How's the weather?"
@ErkaaJ
He answered with an augmented chord

The easier a piece is to "play", the more rarely it is actually played decently.
@corbyballenzuiger
The ending of this piece is probably the biggest question mark in musical notation ever.

Check out Liszt's Mephisto Polka for the biggest semi-colon in musical notation ever

Even Liszt understood when a moment of silence, a time of lamentation, and the hour of reality is needed without the showiness of a musical phrase. This is so humble, so much a meditation, and so beautifully modern. Bravissimo!

First, listen to this piece: Liszt's "Nuages gris" (translation: "Gray clouds"). Then listen to "Nuages" (or "Clouds") from Debussy's Trois Nocturnes. Lastly, listen to Debussy's "Voiles" ("Veils") for piano, with its use of the whole-tone scale and sequences of augmented fifth chords. Both pieces by Debussy were presaged by Liszt's prophetic piece, just as the Liszt's "Bagatelle sans tonalite" foresaw late Scriabin and the free-tonal music of the modernist period.
Liszt began as a composer with an incredibly advanced harmonic language. What people often don't realize is that he continued to push the boundaries of harmony throughout his life and even to the end.
