“Not wanting to be left out, Grandpa made lists of his greatest admirers and most fearsome enemies. The cat did the same.”

‘yassified’ classical composers

Well...that looks...wrong

And why does Vivaldi look like one of the Kardashians

Honestly...They could have just kept Liszt the way he was in the first place

Schostakovitch is the only one that kinda works

Clara Schumann already was a boss

Wow...They really did Elgar dirty

Trying to do this on my phone was a mistake

Tbh I feel like Liszt & Mozart could switch places

Franz Liszt was truly one of the men ever

- became a lifelong alcoholic to cope with his depression at about 16

- was proud of being Hungarian. Did not speak Hungarian

- Czerny thought young Liszt's playing was a mess (but fortunately saw potential in the kid)

- penned his academic/historical writings with truly extravagant purple prose

- was a Lord Byron fanboy and tried to steal his look

- was a fail dad who was too busy touring and being a sex object to take care of his 3 kids. essentially left them in the care of his relatives for the entirety of their childhood

- sure did look ratty as hell, like he was desperately in want of soap and a hairbrush

- was apparently hot enough to turn the heads of men as well as women. fans basically wanted his gamer boy bath water. Even in his old age some people were down horrendous for the gangly rat man

- wrote a whole book about his genuine appreciation of the Romani and their contributions to Hungarian music, yet also fell into romanticizing them as untamed transcendental musical geniuses

- was mocked by the press for making too much Expressions(TM) while playing the piano

- wrote "vibrato" on a piano score at one point

- alongside his original music, also wrote an impressive amount of what were basically impossible piano covers

Station Eleven + "La Campanella"

#ok so FUN FACT: liszt became inspired to pursue piano after attending a charity concert for victims of the cholera epidemic #he was specifically inspired by paganini's performance & la campanella is actually an arrangement of violin music by paganini #and THAT is the only explanation i could come up with for why this specific piece was in three separate episode of this show #station eleven #stationelevenedit #m.gif

Breaking News: Sunny boy and moody edgelord caught in a spicy act.

Amadeus still slaps even after many years.

Surprised I haven't made a single post about Mozart l'Opera Rock. Mozart and Salieri in this reeks of 2010s emo gay french pining. That shit's right up my ally.

People prob forgot about this movie already BUT I DON'T CARE IT'S RLY GOOD GO WATCH "IMPROMPTU".

Chopin and Liszt in this don't rly interact much but their chemistry is still 🤌😩.

You make me dreamy.

Marie Duplessis to Franz Liszt, 1845

#marie duplessis #franz liszt #history #sometimes translating from the og french is un peu difficile #the quote literally translates to 'you set me to dream' but that just sounds awkward in english #so this is what i went with #my old french professors are either applauding my initiative or judging my free & easy translation skills #probably the latter
