Puzzle Contest #164 with Lizzy Cseh-Hodzinsky r 1 A little more about Franz Liszt In conjunction with this month’s Tibor’s Take, the February 2019 Puzzle Contest honors Hungary’s greatest musician, Franz Liszt. Born in 1811, the famous piano virtuoso was a very complex individual. Some say creating and performing music was his escape from the realities he faced due to his stardom and questionable lifestyle. But, many do not know of Liszt’s humanitarian efforts. He provided financial aid to many causes, including the construction of the Beethoven Monument, the Hungarian National School of Music, the Cologne Cathederal, the Gymnasium of Dortmund and St. Leopold Church in Pest. He also provided aid to the victims of the Great Hungarian Flood of 1838, the Leipzig Musicians Fund and countless hospitals and schools. He was a benefactor to many composers of his era. He offered piano lessons free of charge and, in many cases, paid for the room and board of his students. By opening the Royal Academy of Music at Budapest, Liszt helped numerous Hungarian musicians to become composers, performers and music teachers, with many students evolving into world class musicians in their own right. For a country so small in numbers, Hungary has had a large impact on the world of classical music, even to this very day. American pianist Andre Watts, for example, credits his Hungarian mother for encouraging him in his adolescence to practice like Liszt did and would tell him stories about Franz’s life. The February 2019 puzzle honors not only Franz Liszt and his music but also his legacy of creating so many Hungarian musicians. There are 16 clues, each the name of a famous musician who was influenced by either direct association with Franz Liszt or by Liszt’s example. Good luck. And congratulations to all my fellow WPA members as our fraternal association celebrates its 133rd anniversary this month.
