A rhapsody in music is a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, colour and tonality. An air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation make it freer in form than a set of variations.

Franz Liszt was born 22nd October, 1811. His father who played piano, violin, cello and guitar and had been in the service of Prince Nikolaus II Esterházy and knew Haydn, Hummel and Beethoven personally. Franz began learning the piano from his father aged six. He began composing when he was eight. He appeared in concerts at Sopron and Pozsony (German: Pressburg; Slovak: Bratislava) in October and November 1820 at age 9. After the concerts, a group of wealthy sponsors offered to finance Franzs musical education abroad.

His fame and reputation grew throughout Europe during the nineteenth century through his virtuosic skill as a pianist. He was said by his contemporaries to have been the most technically advanced pianist of his age. In the 1840s he was considered by some to be perhaps the greatest pianist of all time. He was also a well-known composer, piano teacher, and conductor. As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind a huge body of work in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated many 20th-century ideas and trends.
