After all of the Liszt I have heard, and played (or tried) I continue to have difficulty figuring out why he is not known as widely among common people as say Tchaikovsky, or Beethoven, etc. It is beyond me to find out why. He was as much as a genius, a creator and innovator.

@MrANTONIOS383 maestoso, πραγματικα αιωνιο...

@Labroidas Thats the common misconception about both Liszt's and Wagner's music. They were looking ahead of their times Brahms Mendelssohn looked back. Beethoven was also looking ahead. It's because Brahms and the "Leipzig" school that 90% of most modern concert repertoire is "historic" music. I have nothing against that, but Liszt and Wagner were visionaries established the future of the music. Mendelssohn and Brahms didn't establish anything new.

[Labroidas]

That is the discussion: List and Wagner, or Brahms and Beethoven? The talent isn t questionable by none of those, there philosophical background is the problem. I find Lisztian or Wagnerian way of thinking (and composing) underdeveloped, childish (in a bad way), and naive. Their music narates without a mystery, stays on the surface and misses to actualy express the things that are in the origin of "all things created". They talk long and loud about the deeper things,but don t really touch them.
