young liszt by jean-august dominique ingres
at the piano, 1840
liszt by miklós barabás
liszt a few months before his death, by nadar(i think this is such a great portrait)
i feel somewhat ashamed that i don't know much (or anything) about
ferenc liszt (1811-1886). and even though i'm almost illiterate when
it comes to music i feel that maybe i should get to know him a bit more
because he might have things to teach me.
he was a legend in his own time already, portrayed by the likes ofingres, nadar or barabás (some people i know a bit more of than him).
as far as i know, austria tries to claim him as her own,
but who cares... :P i know he was hungarian.
