1811 1886 Franz Keyboard Liszt
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary Hungarian composer and pianist Franz Liszt (1811-1886) in his later years, as he sits at the piano in deep concentration. Born in 1811 in Raiding, Hungary, Liszt is considered one of the most influential figures in the development of modern music. He was a virtuoso pianist, a composer, and a teacher, and is often referred to as the 'first modern musician.' Liszt's innovative approach to music performance and composition challenged the traditional norms of his time. He was known for his dazzling technique and expressive interpretations, which captivated audiences across Europe. In this image, taken in 1886, the year of his death, Liszt's hands rest lightly on the keyboard, suggesting that he is in the midst of a thoughtful and introspective moment. His furrowed brow and serious expression convey a deep sense of focus and dedication to his art. Despite his advanced age, Liszt's passion for music remained undiminished. He continued to compose and perform until the end of his life, leaving behind a rich legacy that includes over 1,000 compositions. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private world of this musical titan, providing a poignant reminder of the enduring power of music to inspire and captivate us, even in the face of the passage of time.
