I first fell in love with Liszt when I heard the Faust Symphony on the radio by chance. It was 23 years ago, and the event changed my whole life.

@Rednasyl1

Look his father was hungarian.But yes,Liszt Ferenc was born in Austria.But is doesn't mean that he was austrian!! I was born is Romania,actually in Transilvania,i'm living here with my parents,but i'm HUNGARIAN not romanian!!!!!

[RonaiHenrik]

@Rednasyl1 well... that's actually not true...

'Ádám Liszt - (Adamus List) (December 16, 1776 – August 28, 1827) was a Hungarian musician and father of composer and pianist Franz Liszt.

He was born in Nemesvölgy, Kingdom of Hungary.'

I think 'Ádám' and 'Nemesvölgy' is pretty much Hungarian, furthermore he was born in Hungary.

His son - Liszt Ferenc - was also Hungarian.

'Franz Liszt (...) was a 19th-century Hungarian[2][3][4] composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher.'

[Rednasyl1]

@RonaiHenrik Since Liszt's parents were austrian (father) and german (mother), and german speakers, his "real" name of birth is Franz. It is "hungarished" in Ferenc by nationalism

Amazing! Virtuosic pianist and ethereal composer. I say ethereal because there is something otherworldly about his music. XD

@PTR131 Let me guess. American? :P

Great Picture on the Faust subject - looks like it could be by Delacroix, can anyone confirm this.

Got to know this symphony when I was quite young and bought an l.p. with Ernest Ansermet conducting, don't know why it's not performed more often.

@RonaiHenrik Or we could just say Franz and not give a fuck about the damn grammar.
