Franz Liszt was one of many classical composers. In some ways, he
can be compared to a modern rock and roll star.
Franz Liszt was born in Raiding, Hungary, on October 22, 1811.
Much like Mozart, he was a very great piano player at a very young age.
Liszt composed an opera called Don Sancho at the age of fourteen.
Professionals of LisztÆs time thought that he was only a genius with the piano,
which was not enough to give his ideas the great recognition they deserved.
Many people thought that Liszt was ôa mover and a shaker, a rebel, chased
women, and had much talent and personality." He had invented the solo
recital. When Liszt had a concert, he usually played his own music and came
out wearing decorations hanging on chains, which was unusual for his time.
For two years Liszt was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown. In some ways
he was much like Kurt Cobain, the late lead singer of the rock band Nirvana.
Kurt Cobain was born on February 20, 1967, in Aberdeen, Washington.
He was passed on to several relatives after his parents divorced when he was
eight years old. For some time he even lived under a bridge and was
hospitalized for a heroin addiction. It was not entirely unexpected that Cobain
committed suicide. He had had entered a coma by overdosing on a mixture
of champagne and tranquilizers on March 4. Also, KurtÆs family history
showed that two of his fatherÆs uncles committed suicide, along with the fact
that there were a lot of dysfunctional marriages and alcoholism present.
During a concert, Kurt would jerk around as if he was being electrocuted.
After his death, the sale of Nirvana memorabilia increased dramatically.
As you can see, both Franz Liszt and Kurt Cobain have some
characteristics in common. They had both been hospitalized for an illness.
However, one was physical while the other was mental. Both had unusual
concert styles. Like many classical composers, Kurt was not truly appreciated
until his death, as shown by the fact that the sale of Nirvana memorabilia
increased.
