Jenny lind was married to franz lizt8/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Raising Franz Liszt Īt his house in Doborján, Liszt staged chamber concerts. Liszt's father Georg wrote to prince Esterházy in 1812 that Adam had 3 more children, but there is no other documentation about this, and it seems unlikely. ![]() The only child of the couple, Franz Liszt, was born on 22 October 1811. Their marriage took place in the parish of Lók (today Unterfrauenhaid, Austria) on 11 January 1811. While visiting his father in Nagymarton (today Mattersburg, Austria) in the summer of 1810, Liszt met Anna Lager who had recently moved from Vienna to Nagymarton. Doborján, only 30 miles from Kismarton, was a rather provincial place. This happy time ended when Liszt was transferred to the Esterházy estate of Doborján (today Raiding, Austria) in 1809, as an overseer of the herd of about 50,000 sheep ( Rentmeister der Fürstlich Esterházyschen Schäferei). In his spare time, he played cello in the orchestra led by Johann Nepomuk Hummel, the successor of Haydn, and had the opportunity to work with many musicians who came to Kismarton to perform, including Cherubini and Beethoven. The years in Kismarton were his happy years. ![]() Only in 1805 did he finally succeed in getting a job at the court in Kismarton. He started to compose music and dedicate it to the Prince in order to be transferred back to the Western part of Sopron County. After two years, Liszt was transferred to Kapuvár where he was missing the musical atmosphere at Kismarton (today Eisenstadt, Austria). He had to look for a job, and in 1798 became a clerk at the Esterházy estate in Fraknóváralja (today Forchtenstein, Austria). He still kept a close relationship with the order, which probably gave him the inspiration to name his son Franz.Īn attempt by Liszt to continue as a student of philosophy at the University of Pozsony ended in the first year due to financial reasons. After graduating from the Archigymnasium Regium Posoniense (today Gamča, Slovakia), in Pressburg (Pozsony, today's Bratislava), Liszt entered the Franciscan Order, but two years later, by his petition in 1797, was released from the order. His brother Eduard and one sister Barbara also showed great musical talents, as did their father Georg, who worked as an organist and played the piano and violin, but they had few resources for musical education other than within the family. He was also an amateur pianist, and played the organ and violin and sang in a choir. Adam's brother, Eduard, father of Franz von Liszt.Īs a teenager, Liszt played cello in the House of Eszterházy summer orchestra under the direction of Joseph Haydn. Other family members also adapted this form, e.g. After the great success of his son Franz, the father Georg also started to use the surname Liszt in the 1820s. In his lifetime, Latin, not Hungarian, was the administrative language of the multi-ethnic Kingdom of Hungary, hence the recorded Latinised name "Adamus". In his youth, Adam changed his surname "List" to the spelling "Liszt", according to Hungarian pronunciation. Franz tried to learn the common tongue of his kingdom in the 1870s, but in spite of his great language skills he couldn't reach a fluent level. The family lived mostly in the German-speaking parts of Hungary, which is why they had only rudimentary knowledge of Hungarian. ![]() Georg was in service for the Hungarian Nikolaus II, Prince Esterházy and both he and his son, Adam, were Hungarian citizens. They lived in Márcz, Nagymarton and Malacky (Slovakia.) There are Germanic, Slavic and Magyar claims of the Liszt family. His family was of Danube Swabian German descent.
