Les Preludes, Mazeppa, Liebestraum No. 3, La Campanella, Les Jeux d'eau a las Villa d'Este, Sonetto 104 del Petrarca, Wilde Jage, Consolation No. 3, Mephisto Waltz


Franz Liszt was the first pianist in history to perform the most difficult pianistic compositons without reading the music. He was also the first pianist to place the piano so that the audience could admire his magnificent profile! And, he was undoubtedly the greatest piano virtuoso ever to perform on that glorious instrument.

Audiences loved him for his great technical power and lightning speed, combined with a passionate and dramatic interpretation. In addition to all of this, his stage presence was electrifying.
