How Franz Liszt Revolutionized Piano and Classical Music Listen on: iTunes | Google Podcasts | Online Franz Liszt was a Hungarian composer and pianist. I don’t think you can talk about Liszt without talking first about the evolution of the piano. The piano you see today in concerts hall or in private homes was not always like that. Though the earlier instrument had a similar shape and had a keyboard, its interior plumbing was completely different. In fact it was called a harpsichord – think of it as a harp (wooden frame with stretched strings) with a keyboard.
Great story about the differences in the piano.
