The Franz Liszt Tradition

Pioneer of the piano recital, the masterclass and the modern piano technique, Franz Liszt inherited Beethoven´s pianistic influence through Czerny, and taught hundreds of pianists from many countries. He had a direct impact on the greatest historical piano traditions through István Thomán and Árpád Szendy in Hungary, Alexander Siloti in Russia, Hans von Bülow, Emil von Sauer and Martin Krause in Germany, Rafael Joseffy and Carl Lachmund in the United States, Walter Bache in England or Pedro Tintorer in Spain.
