A biographical dictionary of musicians (ed. Theodore Baker) G. Schirmer, 1905 - 695 pages
Liszt Franz Hungarian Ferencz the creator of the art of orchestral pianoforte playing and of the symphonic poem was born at Raiding near Odenburg Hungary Oct 22 181 1 died at Bayreuth July 31 1886 His father an excellent amateur began his instruction on the piano at the age of six progress was so rapid that at nine Franz played at a public concert in Odenburg Ries sdiffi cult Ej concerto with so great artistic success that his father decided on further concerts at Pressburg After the second several Hungarian counts offered to provide 600 florins annually for 6 years for the boy's musical education The offer was joyfully accepted and the family removed in 1S21 to Vienna Here Franz took piano lessons from Czerny for 18 months and studied theory with Salieri composing under the hitter's supervision a considerable number of short church pieces Beethoven hearing of the talented boy asked to see him at their memorable meeting the delighted master embraced Liszt after the latter's execution without notes and accompaniment of his trio op 97 L s first public concerts in Vienna were given in 1823 with such flattering results that the father determined to take his son to the Paris Cons On
eicha s and ancho times the way concerts were given at Munich and Stuttgart Franz passed his examinations ad mirably but Cherubini then Director of the Conservatoire was opposed on principle to in fant phenomena and refused him admission using as an excuse a rule forbidding the entrance of foreigners As a consequence Franz took no more piano lessons developing his genius in his own way but still studied composition for a short time under Pair but chiefly under Reicha eagerly profiting by the latter's teachings bringing out a one act operetta Don Saticho ou le Chdleau de V Amour performed five at the Acad royale de Musique in 1825 Already a well known pianist he now spent two years in concert tours his father died in 1827 and L settled in Paris to support his mother and himself He was in great demand as a teacher and moved in the highest circles of letters and art in aristocratic salons which had always been open to le petit l itz homage was soon paid to the great artist His impressionable spirit was strongly moved by the influences of the period the romanticism of Chopin and Weber St Simonism the revolutionary era of 1S30 he even dreamt of entering the priest hood but in the end a love of art conquered Paganini's advent in 1831 inspired him to heretofore unheard of feats in piano technique and expression the music of Berlioz ripened his conviction of the poetic possibilities of his art he became one of the most ardent champions and potent promoters of realism in music For the present however these ideas found public utterance only in his pianistic achievements These were interrupted for a time by his liaison with the Countess d Agoult known as an authoress under the nom de plume of Daniel Stern with her he retired to Geneva 1835 9 Three children were born to them Cosima the younger of two daughters became the wife of Richard Wagner During these four years L twice emerged from retirement to vanquish his only serious pianistic rival Thalberg 1836 Finally in 1S30 he set out on a triumphal progress through Kurope signalizing this step by generously assuming the responsibility for the completion of the Iieethoven monument at lionn for which a large sum was still required and subscriptions scanty For the ensuing decade the world rang with the fame of the greatest pianist who has ever lived In 1849 c ac cepted the position of court Kapellmeister at Weimar with the understanding that he was to further by all means at his command the progress of modern musical art An adherent of the New German School free tonality romantic realism program music he extended generous aid to struggling brother artists When the exiled Wagner in despair over the dumb score of Lohengrin sent it to Liszt the answer came back that the work was preparing for its first performance Weimar Aug 28 1850 It was followed by Raft's Konig Alfred 1851 Here JJer Jliegende Hollander and aunl duser were
revived like Schumann's Genoveva and Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini Naturally Weimar became a centre of attraction for artists of modem tendency reinforced by a multitude of pupils of the great pianist Here Liszt himself ended his first or virtuoso period to which most of his transcriptions and original compositions for pf belong and entered upon a second period of more serious composition appearing in public as a pianist only at rare intervals From Weimar too he sent into the world a new orchestral conception the symphonic poem in which he makes free and original use of the leading motive local color of most varied hues and all arts and devices of orchestration to plastically follow and interpret the inner meaning of the given poem or program In 1859 he left Weimar on account of the opposition displayed to the production of Cornelius Barbier von Bagdad and the consequent failure of that opera Until 1870 he lived for the most part in Rome in 1S66 the Pope Pius IX conferred on him the dignity of Abbe In 1870 being invited to conduct the Beethoven Festival at Weimar cordial relations with the court were reestablished and thereafter L spent some months of each summer at Weimar In 1875 he was made President of the new Hungarian Academy of Music at Pesth and between Weimar Pesth and Rome the last years of his life were divided a throng of pupils and admirers following him from place to place His death at Bayreuth in 1S86 occurred in the midst of the Wagner Festival Liszt the artist and the man is one of the grand figures in the history of music Generous kindly and liberal minded whole souled in his devotion to art superbly equipped as an interpreter of classic and romantic works alike a composer of original conception and daring execution a conductor of marvellous insight worshipped as teacher and friend by a host of disciples reverenced and admired by his fellow musicians honored by institutions of learning and by potentates as no other artist before or since his influence spread by those whom he personally taught and swayed will probably increase rather than diminish as time goes on He is the absolute founder of transcendental pianoforte playing in which the instrument is made to display all resources of an orchestra symphonische Dichtungen symphonic poems show an equally absolute departure from earlier formalism marking an epoch in orchestral music as decisively as Wagner's music drama in dramatic During his virtuoso period L s compositions were chiefly for pf including a great number of brilliant paraphrases and transcriptions in which he is unique later orchestral and sacred comp s predominate the latter toward the close of his career A thematic catalogue is published by Breitkopf & I Uriel Works or oiel e nt The symphonic poems Dante after the I Hvina Conimedia f orch
