Theme Background

In 1842 ‘Lisztomania’ swept across Europe. Women fought over his silk handkerchiefs and men wept openly at his piano concerts. He was praised for his brilliance, strength and precision
with his concerts likened to ecstatic experiences. Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886) is considered perhaps the greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important composer, teacher and
inventor of the symphonic poem. As Liszt grew older he became increasingly plagued by feelings of desolation and despair; “I carry a deep sadness of the heart which must now break out into sound”.
