Franz (Ferenc) Liszt (1811 - 1886) was a Hungarian composer and one of the most famous pianists ever. He started his musical career very early as a child prodigy, and studied with Antonio Salieri and Carl Czerny in Vienna. He then moved with his family to Paris in 1823, where he studied with composer Anton Reicha. Liszt was friends with many of the cultural icons of the 19th century, such as composers Hector Berlioz, Richard Wagner and Frédéric Chopin, as well as artist Eugene Delacroix and poet Heinrich Heine.
