Franz Liszt
Franz Liszt has fascinated me since my childhood. In my youth I devoured Zsolt Harsányi's 'Hungarian Rhapsody', a romanticized biography of the pianist, composer and passionate lover. Did I not want to be a pianist? After that I longed for the object that one day came into my possession at an auction at the Erasmushaus in Switzerland: a contemporary photograph of Franz Liszt.
