Franz Liszt/The Romantic Concerto

Abstract: A 4 page research paper on Liszt. Born October 22, 1811 to an Austrian mother and a Hungarian father in the village of Raiding, Franz Liszt was consistent throughout his lifetime in laying claim to his Hungarian heritage and as Hungarian (Walker 48). However, the primary way in which to view the life and music of Liszt is not as a Hungarian, although much of his music draws on that heritage, but rather to view Liszt as a Romantic. This brief discussion of Liszt focuses on Liszt within the overall context of the Romantic Period, as exemplified by the Romantic concerto. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
