From 12 October to 30 November, at the Music and audio materials reading room (room 305) runs an exhibition “The classic of Hungarian music” dedicated to the 200th birthday of Hungarian composer, pianist and conductor Ferenz Liszt (1811–1886).
F. Liszt is the greatest pianist and composer of the 19th century and one of the brightest representatives of romanticism in music. His virtuosity is so far the guiding line for modern pianists while his works are the top of piano techniques. The composer and pianist made a radical turn in piano music by introducing the “symphonic interpretation” of the piano based on a sonorous and colorful sound.
As a composer, he made a number of discoveries in the field of harmony, melody and form. He also created new genres such as rhapsody and symphonic poem.
F. Liszt’s creative activity was extremely various. Being a courageous innovator, he enriched music with new ideas and expressive means.
In his works the composer-romanticist aspired to manifest the inmost connection between music and poetry.
The composer’s creative heritage is rich and various: symphonic poems “The Battle of the Huns”, “Hamlet”, “Hungary”, “Prometheus”, two concerts for piano with orchestra, numerous romances and choirs, piano compositions (sonatas, etudes, rhapsodies, waltzes), compositions for orchestra and organ, transcriptions of works by different composers, and also original spiritual works.
Printed music and audio records of the composer’s works, and also articles about his life and career are on display at the exhibition.
