Franz Liszt was a famous Hungarian composer and pianist of the Romantic era. He was renowned for his virtuoso technique, which included the use of the “Lisztian roll,” a unique method of rapidly playing a series of legato notes using arm weight and a circular motion of the wrist. This allowed him to perform incredibly fast, loud, and florid passages. Liszt also made extensive use of the sustain pedal, chords in the left hand, large leaps across the keyboard, and the ” damper pedal glissando” (pulling the damper pedal upward while pressing keys to slide between them).
