Franz Liszt was a 19th century Hungarian composer, pianist, conductor and teacher renowned for his virtuosic skill as a pianist. He was considered the most technically advanced pianist of his time and perhaps the greatest of all time. Liszt composed Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, which is the most famous piece from his set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies. It offers pianists a chance to showcase their virtuosity while providing listeners with immediately appealing music, though it is also one of the most technically demanding solo piano works.
