EAST-CENTRAL EUROPEAN & BALKAN CONCERTOS From the 19th Century to the Present A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Franz (Ferenc) Liszt (1811-1886) Born in Doborjan, Hungary (today, Raiding, Austria). He played the piano as a child and then in Vienna studied with Carl Czerny and Antonio Salieri, who taught him counterpoint and score reading. Then he moved on to Paris where he was a student of Antoine Reicha for theory and Ferdinando Paer for composition. His career as a piano virtuoso, composer and teacher was launched and he became one of the dominant musicians of the 19th century. He composed in nearly every genre but is best known for works for the piano and orchestra. His orchestral mastery is best represented by his cycle of 13 Symphonic Poems.
