Franz Liszt encouraged the performance of the music of Johannes Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, and others by transcribing their works for piano and playing them at a time when their music was underappreciated. He wrote books on Frédéric Chopin, Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin and Tannhäuser, and John Field’s nocturnes.
