He's ✨extra✨

Franz Liszt was truly one of the men ever

- became a lifelong alcoholic to cope with his depression at about 16

- was proud of being Hungarian. Did not speak Hungarian

- Czerny thought young Liszt's playing was a mess (but fortunately saw potential in the kid)

- penned his academic/historical writings with truly extravagant purple prose

- was a Lord Byron fanboy and tried to steal his look

- was a fail dad who was too busy touring and being a sex object to take care of his 3 kids. essentially left them in the care of his relatives for the entirety of their childhood

- sure did look ratty as hell, like he was desperately in want of soap and a hairbrush

- was apparently hot enough to turn the heads of men as well as women. fans basically wanted his gamer boy bath water. Even in his old age some people were down horrendous for the gangly rat man

- wrote a whole book about his genuine appreciation of the Romani and their contributions to Hungarian music, yet also fell into romanticizing them as untamed transcendental musical geniuses

- was mocked by the press for making too much Expressions(TM) while playing the piano

- wrote "vibrato" on a piano score at one point

- alongside his original music, also wrote an impressive amount of what were basically impossible piano covers

“He who admires art in its technical perfection must respect Liszt. He who is charmed by God-given genius must respect him all the more.”

—descriptions of Liszt from his contemporary and friend, Hans Christian Andersen

(1840)

As we rise from the organic and sink back ignominiously into the organic

It is a glory and a privilege to love what Death doesn't touch.

Anyone interested in penpaling? I‘ve been wanting to do it for a really long time…

Not that I would prefer anyone buuut… it‘d be great if you were interested in Liszt so I can finally have someone to talk (and simp) about him

About me: I am a high school student from Germany, pianist and music lover, arts, books and writing, dark academia… I speak German and English fluently, French is still a bit problematic but it works just fine for communicating about important stuff. <3

school stress can seem overwhelming at the point whole life seems overwhelming , but remember: you can always turn to the woods, you still have seasons, coffee, people's love, you still have books and movies, animals and fresh air. you still have your beautiful mind. this is real life. not school, that's a part of your road in society, but society is not life. little things are life. love is life. nothing else matters.
