    I'm actually starting to learn about Berlioz and as a big Liszt fan, it's quite funny to hear that Berlioz admired Liszt. I'm starting to look at musicians more so now as actual people. I know how stupid that sounds but I use to think that the way they acted while playing represented them outside of playing. And I understand now that Liszt wasn't a vain virtuoso pianist, but a generous man who loved music and was damn good at playing it.

      He was far from vain. His nurturing efforts to many of his contemporaries pulled them out of obscurity and let them rise to their fullest potential. He did that at the cost of his own life and fortune and his undying support for Wagner eventually hastened the ruin of his own reputation.

    I find it interesting that there are people that consider Liszt the greatest pianist of all time, yet he broke strings when he played and took the liberty of altering pieces by other great composers to his own "tastes" and "sensibilities". Is there any pianist in modern times that would be lauded for performing in this way, let alone be called the greatest pianist of all time? I believe even Horowitz would have been ostracized for having played in this way. Anyone can played hard and loud. Playing softly, and with control is a whole different ballgame. I realize that the pianos of his day were very different than the modern piano, but still..........

      Virtuosity. The true virtuoso..root latin, is the bearer of Truth, which he demonstrated all his life. I think you better stay with something you. are familiar with, like race cars, since you know very little about music. If you are truly interested in a very objective lesson of music, read Alan Walkers three books, or you can Google HIs lectures at the Library of Congress.
