abstract: Franz Liszt was born in western Hungary on October 22nd
1811 and died at Bayreuth, Germany in July 1886. He was a pianist,
a teacher and a composer. He developed several musical ways such as
programmatic music, technique and thematic transformation. He
traveled most of his life, and composed a number of works about the
