Franz Liszt was a 19th century Hungarian composer and virtuoso pianist known for exploiting the technical capabilities of the piano. He composed etudes, rhapsodies, and one-movement orchestral works called symphonic poems. Liszt's music was characterized by chromaticism, unconventional tones, and complex techniques, while Chopin's focused more on individual expression.
