Franz Liszt was born
October 22, 1811, in the
village of Raiding in Sopron
County, Kingdom of
Hungary. His father played
the piano violin and guitar
and knew Haydn, Hummel
and Beethoven personally.
At age six, Franz began
listening attentively
(внимательно) to his
father's piano playing as
well as to show an interest
in both sacred and gypsy
(церковная и цыганская)
music.
His father began teaching
Franz the piano at age
seven and Franz began
composing in an elementary
manner when he was eight.
He appeared (появлявшийся)
in concerts at Sopron and
Poison (present day
Bratislava) in October and
November 1820 at age 9.
After these concerts, a
group of Hungarian
magnates offered
(предлагать) to finance
Franz's musical education
abroad.
Liszt became renowned
(известный) throughout Europe
during the 19th century. He was
said by his contemporaries
(современники) to have been
the most technically advanced
(передовой) pianist of his age
and perhaps (возможно) the
greatest pianist of all time. He
was also an important and
influential (влиятельный)
composer, a notable(известный)
piano teacher, a conductor who
contributed (внести) significantly
(значительный) to the modern
development of the art.

Liszt supported (поддерживать)
the idea of programmer music in
some of his works– that is music
intended to evoke
(предназначенный, чтобы
вызвать) extra-musical ideas.
By contrast, absolute music(a
radical new idea in the 19th
century world of music) stands
for itself and is intended
(предназначенный) to be
appreciated (оценить without
any particular (деталь)
reference (ссылка) to the
outside world.
The first 12 symphonic
poems were composed in the
decade 1848–1858 one
other,«From the Cradle to
the Grave», followed in 1882.
Liszt's intent (намерение),
according to MacDonald in
the New Crove Dictionary of
Music and Musicians, was for
these single-movement
works "to display (показать)
the traditional logic of
symphonic thought."

On June 24, 1872, the
composer and conductor
Karl Muller-Hartung founded
an " Orchestra School " at
Weimar. Although Liszt and
Müller-Hartung were on
friendly terms, Liszt took no
active part in that foundation
(фонд). The "Orchestra
school" later developed to a
conservatory which still
exists and is now called
«Liszt School of Music
Weimar».

On July 2, 1881, Liszt had
fallen (падать) down the
stairs (лестница)of the Hotel
in Weimar. Though friends
and colleagues had noted
swelling (отметили опухоль)
in Liszt's feet and legs when
he had arrived in Weimar the
previous month, Liszt had up
to this point been in
reasonably good health, and
his body retained (сохранить)
the slimness (стройность)
and suppleness
(податливость) of earlier
years. The accident, which
immobilized (остановить) him
for eight weeks, changed this.
