Franz Liszt

About

Liszt redefined for the nineteenth century what was possible for the piano. He learned that if you played powerfully enough, beautiful women would literally pass out from the emotional exhaustion and hero worship. His sphere of influence went much further than his instrument. He devised the Symphonic Poem form, which is a sort of one movement work inspired by a non-musical subject, such as a famous person or a literary work.
