#Franz #Liszt (1811-1886) was arguably the greatest #piano #virtuoso of his time (and some might say could still hold this title if alive today) and one of the #finest and most #innovative #composers of all times. Interestingly, "virtuoso" meant then someone who also excelled #musically, not someone who just could play faster and louder than others. Enjoy these excellent virtuoso (in the best sense of the word) performances by Van Cliburn (1934-2013, recorded probably in the 60s in Moscow) and Jorge Bolet (1914-1990, recorded in the 70s at Indiana University).
