I learned about this because of Phoenix's song Lisztomania back in the day
Knew I'd find this here. Gonna go listen rn
So thirsty shes literally drinking water
Ah yes, concert "water"
Some things never change lmfao
Somebody heard a song
It's a good song tbf
Haven't heard it. I got a notification of a new classical album on YouTube music and my partner proceeded to tell me about Liszt's long fingers and Lisztomania.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
I can thoroughly recommend the song.

Sadly none of these links are working for me right now
Haha this is what I assumed!
I saw a movie
What movie?
Well, Lisztomania of course
Take one guess...
Air Bud?
Close! Both star a mammal.
Free Willy?
Maybe they listened to a podcast
This thing right here is practically 1800s death math metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJR0WF_vVmU -- unfortunately this is the cut version and the full 10+ minute version doesn't seem to be available anymore. Even more unfortunate that the pianist, who was born in Kyiv, turned out to want Russia to annex Ukraine.
Some years ago, I learned to play that bit at 1:10. That was a good moment.
e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDdQiLZPTF8 here's a pretty good full rendition
e2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPv_CsTye5s perhaps even better

Holy shit that's amazing
I'm going to see if there's some modern concerts of this man's work when I get home from the bar. He had to compose some absolute fire to cause that reaction in his era.
He rose to fame through his skills as a pianist, probably being considered the best of his time (and very handsome). Maybe his freakishly long fingers helped his skill. I recommend the piano transcriptions of his third Liebestraum (S. 541) in A-flat major and his third Consolation/Tröstung (S. 172) in D-flat major, both among his most well known and popular pieces.
This right here is why I love lemmy. Thank you for sharing, especially because you have such specific knowledge/experience. I listened to both your recommendations, and they were great. They both invoke a lot of emotion, I can see how he caused a stir, lol.
Based on this post, you'd think his D-thick major would have been more popular.
Here you go!

If you don't think this is fire, your opinioner is broken.

Oh Mr Liszt, verily I am frothing at the gash
He had to get a dog to satisfy dozens of people asking for a lock of his hair.
He was unbelievabley talented, rumoured to sight read anything flawlessly. Also, have you seen a portrait of the guy? He was a looker.
Yeah. Those eyes.
To quote Knorkator:
"...
Ich hasse Beethoven, und man kann sagen Er selber musste das ja nicht ertragen.
Ich hasse außerdem Bach und Liszt, und darauf reimt sich Krach und Mist!"
Ah okay, now I understand.
Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer?
Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!
Are you trying to kill everyone?!
