Musicians
Franz Liszt
Born in Hungary in 1811, Franz Liszt was the Romantic era's supreme virtuoso pianist and a composer of far-reaching influence. His concert tours across Europe in the 1830s and 1840s sparked Lisztomania, the first instance of mass celebrity in music history. He invented the symphonic poem, pioneered thematic transformation, and in his experimental late works anticipated atonality. As a teacher, he created the masterclass format and trained hundreds of pianists.
