Sometimes I feel the same way about Lizst.  I love the technical prowess
that he showed at the piano.  I read a lot of biographies about him.  Some
people say Lizst is perhaps the greatest pianist the world has ever known
but some of his compositions just don't move me.  Most of them to me are a
big show-off.  Lizst himself was even dissatisfied in his lifetime because
people knew him as a performer more than a composer.  I love a challenge so
I worked on Hungarian Rhapsody no.  2.  This composition isn't too hard if
you have a good wrist!
