Franz Liszt: Hungarian Inventor of the Solo Recital


He showed talent at an early age, and several nobles financed his musical education.  Liszt gave his first performance in Vienna, Austria at eleven.  At his solo recitals he played mostly variations on other people's music.  He generously taught others to play the piano, often without charging for his services.  By giving lessons to people from all over the globe, his technique spread much farther than might otherwise have occurred.
