 However, Liszt was not instantly well-known. His early attempts in composition were panned. In 1832, Liszt was enthralled by the violin virtuoso Paganini's performance. Liszt was resolved to be to the piano what Paganini was to the violin right then and there (and he succeeded).[([[https://www.quora.com/Why-was-Franz-Liszt-composed-really-hard-pieces-songs-Is-there-a-specific-answer-for-that|Quora]])] However, Liszt was not instantly well-known.

 +===== Hard Work =====
 +
 +Liszt's virtuosity didn't come naturally to him; he worked hard for it. He wrote to a friend after being inspired by Paganini.“My mind and fingers are working like the damned Homer, the Bible, Plato, Locke, Byron, Hugo….., Beethoven, Bach, Hummel, Mozart, Weber, are all around me. I study them, meditate on them, devour them furiously. Furthermore, I practice for four or five hours a day….If only I don’t go mad, you will find in me an artist”.[([[https://www.stephenhicks.org/2010/11/11/more-on-how-great-artists-become-great/|Stephen Hicks]])]
 +
 +===== Difficulty =====
 +
 +Liszt developed an unrivaled technical skill at the piano as a result of his desire, dedication, and hard work. His Transcendental Etudes are exceptionally difficult, according to Robert Schumann, who believed that only a few pianists in the world could perform them.[([[https://faqcelebrity.com/why-did-franz-liszt-make-his-music-so-hard|faqcelebrity]])]
 +
 +===== Breaking Piano Strings =====
 +
 +Liszt was such a passionate pianist, capable of filling a performance hall on his own, that he would break piano strings while performing.[([[https://questionanswer.io/why-was-liszt-so-popular/#did-franz-liszt-break-pianos|questionanswer]])]
 +
 +===== Symphonic Poem =====
 +
 +The symphonic poem is a type of music invented by Liszt. A symphonic poem is orchestral music (without vocals) that tells a tale via music and is inspired by art or literature.[([[https://www.britannica.com/art/symphonic-poem|Britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein =====
 +
 +Princess Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein was Liszt's longest-running romance. They never married, despite their desire, since her ex-husband refused to let it. He stole her estate as well, leaving her with very little.[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Franz-Liszt/Years-with-Marie-dAgoult|Britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Helpful =====
 +
 +Liszt was well-known for his generosity towards his friends and family. He frequently invited guests to stay at his home, including the Princess.[([[https://www.reddit.com/r/classicalmusic/comments/hr5l30/til_franz_liszt_wasnt_just_donating_loads_of/|Reddit]])]
