#4: Franz Liszt, the encounter between the master and his pupils. Franz Liszt was born on 22 October 1811 in Burgenland, the current border region between Hungary and Austria. He passed away in Bayreuth in 1886.
The family Liszt moved to Vienna in Franz’s childhood, where Liszt received piano lessons from Carl Czerny who had been a student of Ludwig van Beethoven himself. Liszt studied composition with Antonio Salieri, who was a teacher of Beethoven. In this period he met Beethoven and probably also Franz Schubert.
