The term 'Liszt Piece' refers to two works by the Hungarian composer Franz Liszt: the 8-letter RHAPSODY and the 5-letter Etude. The RHAPSODY is a musical composition that is usually free-form and often incorporates improvisation. It is often based on a folk song or poem. The Etude is a short, technically demanding piece of music intended to improve a performer's technique. Both pieces are considered staples of the Romantic period of classical music.
