To talk about Liszt means to have in mind a man who knew how to concentrate within himself quite extraordinary gifts  charm, learning, creativity, and a taste for innovation. It means to speak of a brilliant composer, the most celebrated pianist of all time who founded a school which gave rise to the great stars of orchestration and the performance of concerts.
We will describe him through the filter of two of his works. The first illustrates his ability as a populariser, a musician who knew how to perceive the inner feeling of other musicians and to make that feeling live again from new angles, in this instance through the music of another towering figure of the age  Richard Wagner. The second brings out the technical courage of the virtuouso, a courage to be compared only to that possessed by Paganini.
