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.

Musicians disagreeing with Lenny Bernstein is my favourite horror sub-genre.

HaHa. Wow. Great reply!!
@chopin65
Me too. I said to myself: "Did she just...Wow!"
@sorellman
Yeah, for what do musicians think they are? Musicians? What do they know about music? By the way, she was right. He was very fast.

soloists always have the last word.

Before we all leap to melodramatic conclusions (too late for that, I guess), Christa Ludwig *adored* Leonard Bernstein, and said so in many interviews, including one in which she stated that no other conductor freed her up musically more than Bernstein. She continued to perform and record with him frequently after this, all the way up until his death.
These things happen. You're witnessing a conflict between two great artists. I agree that Bernstein happens to be incorrect in this instance--he's pushing the orchestra too hard too soon, and they're also overreacting and themselves pushing so hard that it becomes out of control. But just because they're disagreeing doesn't mean they hate each other, or that she lost respect for him suddenly, or that he was not a great artist--"always being correct" is not the definition of a great artist. No one is free of misjudgments or errors, including the greatest artists. Colleagues have conflicts sometimes, and we're talking about two extraordinarily strong personalities here. And again, "The audience can't understand the words anyways" is not a broader statement that Bernstein is making. He's not saying, "A singer's text is not important." He's trying to assuage a frustrated colleague; i.e., "The music is so fast and Mahler has set it in such a way that absolute clarity in the moment is nearly impossible anyways." Musical artists say things of this sort all the time in the pressure cooker of a rehearsal.
This is normal. It's fascinating and interesting, but it's not as dramatic as we would like to believe.

Well said! People nowadays seem to think that you have to end relationships over 1 disagreement, but that isn't the case. Conflict is inevitable, but resolution and mutual respect is totally possible.
