My favorite composer for piano, is Franz Liszt. I fell in love with Lizst’s piano composition ”Tarantella”, when I was 18. I heard a concert pianist play it live in Östersund.
What I love about Liszt, is the creative gift he had to compose impressive music, that seduces the listener. Another great piano composition by Liszt, is Mephisto-Walzer No. 1. This walz is so cool, and it is filled with romantic beauty, and impressive virtuoso passages. Liszt’s piano music is filled with light – and it often feels like pop music. But off course – superb first class pop music.
Liszt’s piano music must be played very clearly.
