Liszt transcribed nearly 150 songs for solo piano including 44 of Schubert's Lieder. "His response to poetic imagery his conviction that purely musical images of poetic ideas are capable of projection to the listener and his belief that he could illustrate such imagery without words are keys to understanding Liszt's lifelong aesthetic. The musical image of the idea the true symphonic poem thus had its genesis in concept and form in Liszt's adoration of Schubert." Derek Watson: Liszt p. 214. Ant. Diabelli und Comp.

Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major was first performed February 17 1855 in Weimar with Liszt as soloist and Berlioz conducting. The work has received its fair share of criticism but also has a number of prominent defenders: "There is much to be learned from a study of its original cyclic form which shows conclusively the absurdity of saying that Liszt's music is formless. The work breaks new ground. For while it falls into four quite distinct movements which are are nonetheless thematically linked it is played without a break the entire Concerto unfolding more than twenty minutes continuous music. Bartók regarded it as 'the first perfect realization of cyclic sonata form with common themes treated on the variation principle'-the 'variation principle' being of course Liszt's own technique of the 'metamorphosis of themes'."

German composer and pianist Charles Voss had an initial streak of fame as a virtuoso in both Berlin and Paris but this faded as the years progressed. He published hundreds of works in a popular salon style although few are known today. He dedicated his Exaucement Op. 33 to Liszt but it does not appear that the two pianists were more than acquaintances. Virtuoso pianist Sigismund Thalberg received wide acclaim when he began performing in Paris so much so that Liszt returned from Switzerland in 1836 to defend his unofficial crown. With Fétis defending Thalberg and Berlioz on the side of Liszt a rather harsh battle took place in the Parisian music periodicals. Competition and differences were eventually set aside however after the two masters played a joint concert at the behest of Princess Cristina Belgiojoso 1808-1871. She famously declared that "Thalberg is the finest pianist in the world - Liszt is the only one. unknown

LW C23. Searle 651. Raabe 373. Hoboken 10 16 first issue. Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 2 in A major was dedicated to pianist and composer Hans von Bronsart 1830-1913 who premiered the work on January 7 1857 in Weimar with Liszt conducting. As with the first concerto the second has both its detractors and admirers - in this regard there is similarity to the concertos of Chopin. "Like its predecessor the A major Concerto is a continuously unfolding 'cyclic' structure in which Liszt employs his 'metamorphosis of themes' technique to great advantage. Unlike the E flat major Concerto however it does not easily lend itself to a division into separate movements; neither does it conform to the opposite kind of structural pattern evinced by the B minor Sonata-a single long movement constructed on the principles of sonata first-movement form. It is possible that Liszt was here aiming at a type of structure intermediate between the two and this may explain why the Concerto may seem to have a certain ambiguity of form."
