Liszt’s Lyre
Franz Liszt was the premiere pianist and composer of the 19th century traveling throughout Europe wowing audiences with his technical skills, mane of long hair, good looks and overpowering presence in a room. During his wildly successful reign, he was renown for tearing up the pianos he played because of the strength he attacked his pianos with. Liszt’s Lyre is made up of 1850’s-1870’s Steinway Square Grand parts. What music was played with these parts will never be known, but most assuredly, Liszt’s music was performed over the 150+ years these parts were ‘in play’.
