- Assertion
- Eduard Hanslick (1854) contrasted lawful composition with improvised 'haphazard ramblings'; Franz Liszt gave up his career as a piano virtuoso in 1848 and thereafter improvised only privately.
- Quote
Liszt only gave up his career as piano virtuoso in 1848 when, in the wake of his “conversion” to the Werktreue ideal and his appointment at the Weimar court, he gave a new turn to his career, becoming mainly a conductor and composer. After this point Liszt, who never lost his skill and love for improvising, continued to do so privately.
