Franz Liszt
1811 – 1886
Franz Liszt redefined what was technically possible at the piano. His Études d'exécution transcendante, the B-minor Sonata, the Années de pèlerinage, and the operatic paraphrases set a virtuoso standard that the late nineteenth century built on.
Liszt's influence on piano writing — orchestral textures under ten fingers, thematic transformation, daring harmonic motion — persists in every later virtuoso composer from Rachmaninoff to Ligeti.
