Franz Liszt – The Genius from Raiding<br />
Born to be a Superstar<br />

Franz Liszt was born on 22 October 1811 in Raiding, a town in<br />
today’s central Burgenland which at that time was part of Hungary.<br />
He displayed exceptional musical talent at an early age, and successful<br />
concerts in Sopron and Bratislava earned him a reputation as a<br />
child prodigy. His father, Adam Liszt – an overseer at the Esterházy<br />
sheep farm and himself an amateur cellist at the Esterházy court –<br />
arranged for Franz to have his first piano instruction with Carl Czerny<br />
and Antonio Salieri in Vienna. At the age of twelve, Liszt was already<br />
taking the salons, stages and houses of the aristocracy in Paris und<br />
London by storm.<br />
Liszt is considered a revolutionary of piano playing. His solo performances<br />
and concert appearances were highly virtuosic, and he<br />
was the first pianist to give solo evening concerts, thus initiating the<br />
concert form known as the “piano recital”. He cultivated an eccentric<br />
manner on the stages of Europe and roused his audiences to<br />
transports of enthusiasm, especially the ladies, whose adoration<br />
soared at times to hysterical heights. During his years at Weimar, he<br />
invented the “symphonic poem”, single-movement programmatic<br />
works in which he attempted to express the spirit of the golden age<br />
of Goethe and Schiller. Liszt was also a deeply religious man and created<br />
numerous sacred works. Franz Liszt composed over 800 works<br />
which still enthrall audiences today.<br />
The piano virtuoso developed into a true European who was at home<br />
in Vienna, Budapest, Paris, London, Weimar, Bayreuth and Rome. He<br />
maintained active contacts with other musicians such as Richard<br />
Wagner, Frédéric Chopin and Hector Berlioz and with the intellectuals<br />
of his day. Franz Liszt was not only a composer, piano virtuoso,<br />
conductor and teacher, but also an empathetic humanist who often<br />
gave performances for charitable purposes, a tolerant human being,<br />
a witty conversationalist and a man of great personal attraction.

How tumultuous was the applause which greeted him! Bouquets<br />
were thrown at his feet! It was a grand sight to see how calmly<br />
he, in his triumph, let the bouquets of flowers rain upon him and<br />
then finally, gracefully smiling, placed a red camellia, which he<br />
had plucked from one of the bouquets, in his button-hole. Thus<br />
I thought, thus I explained <strong>Lisztomania</strong> to myself.<br />

To mark the 200th anniversary of Franz Liszt’s birth, exhibitions at<br />
a number of venues in Eisenstadt and central Burgenland – some<br />
of them unique original locations – will be devoted to the life and<br />
work of the great composer. Taken as a whole, the exhibitions will<br />
present a picture of the important phases in the composer’s life<br />
and provide insights into a dazzling, complex personality: prodigy<br />
and piano virtuoso, star performer and heartthrob, composer and<br />
renewer of music, European, free thinker and clergyman.<br />

“Le petit Litz“<br />
Origins of a Genius<br />
"On Sunday last, on the 26th of this month, at mid-day, nineyear-old<br />
Franz Liszt had the opportunity to introduce himself as<br />
a pianist to numerous members of the local high aristocracy<br />
and several self-proclaimed artists, at the home of the highborn<br />
Count Michael Esterházy. The exceptional skill of this young artist,<br />
and his ability to sight-read the most difficult pieces that<br />
were placed before him, excited universal admiration."<br />

Liszt’s historic birth house will commemorate his phenomenal<br />
career as a piano prodigy and explore the interesting question<br />
of how the son of a sheep farm overseer was able to develop<br />
his enormous talent.<br />
The exhibition will therefore examine Liszt’s childhood and the influence<br />
of Adam Liszt on his son, as well as young Franz’s early<br />
musical successes, concerts and travels, and will present, for the<br />
first time, autograph documents relating to the history of the Liszt<br />
family.<br />
Liszt’s first concerts in Sopron and Bratislava at the age of nine<br />
brought him glowing critiques and a scholarship. In 1822 the family<br />
moved to Vienna, where Liszt received music instruction. Soon<br />
Franz and his family moved to Paris, where “le petit Litz” became<br />
the darling of Paris society. The young prodigy also took London<br />
by storm. The once sickly child became a star, managed by an<br />
ambitious father who promoted “the wunderkind“ as a successful<br />
enterprise.<br />
Among the exhibits being displayed is a pianoforte built by Joseph<br />
Dohnal, similar to the instrument upon which young Liszt learned<br />
to play, as well as a portrait of the prodigy at the piano.

exhibitions<br />
When Liszt took up his post at Weimar, he<br />
found a small orchestra of well-qualified musicians<br />
waiting for him. Liszt added new instruments<br />
to this ensemble. His predilection<br />
for flamboyance in musical sound also manifested<br />
itself in his imaginative orchestral works<br />
and the development of new sound colours.<br />
His “New German” orchestral sound brought<br />
innovations: a new type of construction was<br />
developed for the flute; horns and trumpets were given valves that made<br />
it possible to play chromatic passages; the ophicleide used by Mendelssohn<br />
and Berlioz was replaced by the newly invented tuba. Liszt also<br />
adopted the harp, an instrument already in use by Berlioz.<br />
Liszt’s dark, velvety orchestral sound can only be heard in its full beauty<br />
when his works are played in the original instrumentation.<br />
The exhibition presents important original instruments from the 19th century,<br />
which were demonstrably used in orchestras conducted by Franz<br />
Liszt. The instruments are in good condition and most of them will be<br />
played in the orchestral concerts.<br />

The exhibition in Unterfrauenhaid, where<br />
Liszt was baptised, will focus on Liszt’s baptism<br />
and the myth surrounding his birth.<br />
In 1811, the year of Franz Liszt’s birth, Raiding<br />
was a small village without a church of<br />
its own, and so the newborn was baptised<br />
in the neighbouring village of Unterfrauenhaid<br />
at the parish church. The original<br />
baptismal font and parish registers are still<br />
preserved there today.<br />
According to the Liszt family legend, a<br />
“Gypsy” predicted to the pregnant Anna<br />
Liszt, in connection with the appearance of<br />
the Great Comet of 1811, that she was to<br />
bear a son who would achieve greatness.<br />
The exhibition is based on the authenticity<br />
of the church setting, which conveys an impression of the deep religiousness<br />
that Franz Liszt absorbed from his parents from an early<br />
age. An audio installation of Liszt’s St. Francis Legends will transform<br />
the church into an atmospheric listening space.<br />

The Museum of the Province of Burgenland<br />
will develop the main theme of the<br />
Liszt anniversary year. Heinrich Heine<br />
coined the historical term “<strong>Lisztomania</strong>”<br />
to describe the transports of enthusiasm<br />
caused by Liszt’s concerts in Berlin in<br />
1841/1842.<br />
The exhibition will focus on Liszt’s great European concert tours<br />
between 1840 and 1847 (Vienna, Budapest, Paris, Berlin, St.<br />
Petersburg, Constantinople, etc.), the honours and fame they<br />
brought him and the works he composed for them.<br />
<strong>Lisztomania</strong> became the popular word for the excitement and<br />
hysterical reactions of Liszt’s female fans. The fervour of Liszt’s<br />
audiences during his appearances onstage is illustrated by a picture<br />
of Liszt at the piano being showered with roses tossed by the<br />
ladies attending one of his Berlin concerts.<br />
A special highlight of the exhibition is a fan decorated with a<br />
scene showing Liszt and some of his contemporaries at a picnic.<br />
The ladies who fainted in droves at Liszt’s concerts used such<br />
fans to cool themselves.<br />
Portraits, Liszt’s virtuoso repertoire, press and promotion material,<br />
the clothes he wore onstage and fan articles will be juxtaposed<br />
with exhibits relating to Elvis, the Beatles and U2 to show the relation<br />
to contemporary pop star myths. Liszt, too, used his entire<br />
personality to enthrall his audiences until they succumbed to actual<br />
hysteria.<br />

exhibitions<br />
The point of departure for the exhibition<br />
at Haydn House Eisenstadt is the fact that<br />
both Liszt and Haydn were epoch-making<br />
court composers. The exhibition will<br />
focus on Liszt’s years at Weimar, which<br />
are generally seen as his most important<br />
creative period.<br />
From 1848 to 1861, Franz Liszt served as Kapellmeister Extraordinaire<br />
at the Weimar court. Almost a century earlier, Joseph Haydn<br />
had been Kapellmeister at the court of Prince Esterházy.<br />
A painting shows Liszt at the conductor’s stand, dressed in tails and<br />
conducting with the same self-confidence that characterised his<br />
earlier performances as a concert pianist. His intensity is expressed<br />
in every line of his body.<br />
With Liszt, Weimar experienced a musical heyday. In his “Symphonic<br />
Poems”, Liszt gave musical expression to the great Romantic<br />
writers of Weimar, such as Goethe and Schiller. Numerous centenary<br />
celebrations, such as the 100th anniversary of Goethe’s birth,<br />
provided occasions for new compositions and world premieres. At<br />
the unveiling of the monument of Goethe and Schiller, Beethoven’s<br />
9th Symphony was performed, a work which Liszt had venerated<br />
since childhood. This occasion is represented in the exhibition by<br />
a first print of the work and illustrations.<br />
At the same time, the villa Altenburg, where he resided with Princess<br />
Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein, became a centre of the arts<br />
which manifested an alternative lifestyle to that of the Weimar<br />
court. The exhibition includes a lithograph showing the princess<br />
and her seven-year-old daughter Marie.<br />

The exhibition reflects Liszt’s great interest<br />
in art, literature and music, which he cultivated<br />
also through lively exchange with<br />
artists and intellectuals of his time.<br />
At the eu-art-network symposium 2010,<br />
which was held at the Cselley Mühle in<br />
Oslip, numerous European artists focused<br />
specifically on the European artist Franz Liszt. A selection of their<br />
works will be exhibited at the Gallery of the Province of Burgenland.<br />
Subsequently the exhibition will go on tour through Europe.<br />

Liszt’s deeply religious nature, his period<br />
as a cleric late in life, and the expression<br />
of his religious devotion in music are the<br />
themes of this exhibition.<br />
The Museum of the Diocese of Eisenstadt,<br />
housed in the former first Franciscan monastery<br />
in Eisenstadt, is a worthy location to<br />
present Liszt’s religious nature, for both Liszt<br />
and his father were affiliated with the Franciscan<br />
order.<br />
From his childhood to his old age, Liszt was<br />
a deeply religious Catholic, an inclination<br />
which culminated in his taking minor orders<br />
during a sojourn in Rome in 1865.<br />
Afterwards, Liszt’s external appearance<br />
changed. Photographs show him dressed in black clerical garb. This<br />
phase of his life also had a great influence on his oeuvre; he composed<br />
numerous sacred works. The exhibition will also focus on the<br />
plan Liszt conceived in Rome to reform Church music.<br />

exhibitions<br />
In Liszt’s day, musical and literary salons experienced<br />
a heyday throughout Europe. In<br />
these exclusive circles, artists and philosophers<br />
exchanged ideas and presented their<br />
works. “Liszts Salon” revives the atmosphere of<br />
these salons with music and literature presented<br />
by two well-known artists, and rounded<br />
off, as in days of old, with cognac and cigars.<br />
The virtuoso pianist and composer Bernhard<br />
Macheiner will perform pieces by Franz Liszt and Thomas Freudensprung<br />
will read texts by Liszt and his contemporaries.<br />
Location: Museumscafé, Glorietteallee 1, A-7000 Eisenstadt<br />
