Franz Liszt (1811 – 1886) was a Hungarian composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher. During the 19th century he was famous throughout Europe for his great skill as a pianist. He was said by his contemporaries to have been the most technically advanced pianist of his age and perhaps the greatest pianist of all time.

Liszt composed an extensive and diverse body of works, which influenced subsequent composers such as Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz, Camille Saint-Saëns, Edvard Grieg, and Alexander Borodin.
