Ferenc Liszt (
visit link) has emerged as one of the most awe-inspiring figures in all of music history. Regarded by most as the greatest pianist of all time, Liszt's genius extended far beyond the piano to expand musical composition and performance well beyond its 19th century limitations. His unique compositions bewildered, inspired, and inflamed the imaginations of his own era, yet quite miraculously, he also laid the seeds for a series of schools that would flourish in the near and distant future. Namely, the Late Romantic, Impressionist, and Atonal schools. For these remarkable contributions, Liszt is unique, and his immense influence is unquestionably monumental.
Hradec nad Moravici Chateau (

Staying there often were rare guests – in 1806 and 1811 the composer L. van Beethoven, in 1828 N. Paganini and in 1846 and 1848 piano-player and composer Ferenc Liszt.
