Franz Liszt (1811-1886) is one of the greatest composers, teachers, and virtuoso pianists the world has ever know. In writing the piano pieces found on this page, I fantasized that I was a great 19th century composer, just like Liszt. I studied some of the same texts and music forms he did.

The name Liszt Laughing? is my observation that in most of his pictures and portraits (the ones I have seen anyway), Liszt has such as serious look on his face (and that may purposefully be the "genius artist" pose - just like I used on my pose to the left - HA!). So, if Liszt were laughing, the whole world would be upside down. Just like a guitarist (like me) composing piano music. On a computer even. But, musical creativity, tied with the knowledge of music theory, does not have to be bound by physical limitations (the ability to play the instrument a piece is composed for or on). Especially in the computer age. Enjoy!
