Hungarian composer and, by nearly every account, the greatest virtuoso pianist of the 19th century, so magnetic in performance that audiences reportedly fainted, a phenomenon a contemporary dubbed "Lisztomania." He invented the symphonic poem, transcribed entire symphonies and operas for solo piano so audiences without an orchestra nearby could still hear them, and pushed piano technique into territory no one had mapped before. In his forties he abruptly gave up the touring life, took minor holy orders, and spent his later years writing sparer, stranger, more prophetic music that wouldn't be fully understood for decades. He was also a famously generous teacher, refusing to charge the young pianists who studied with him.
Start with these
The easiest Liszt on the shelf, in order. Nothing here is graded and nobody is ranked: the shelf simply puts the pieces that ask less of your hands before the ones that ask more.
Every Liszt score
How the reader works
Each score opens as engraved notation you can read from the stand, and it plays: hear the piece first, then slow it down and loop the bar that is not working. There is nothing to install and no account to make. When you want paper, print it.
Every file is MusicXML, so MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico open them too.
Where to go next
If you are learning Liszt rather than only reading, the scale pages cover fingering in every key, the chord pages spell out every chord, and the symbol dictionary explains any mark on the page you do not recognise.
