![[Linked Image]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Franz_Liszt_by_Herman_Biow-_1843.png) I dont know who added the photo but i didnt see this photo of liszt before this is probably the first photo of liszt taken in 1843 he is 32 years old here. Also this photo is former than Chopin's 1846 photo and 1849 photo. Incredible!

If it is genuine it makes sense. He was much more important than Chopin in society and would have drawn photographers of celebrities, just as greats love to shoot celebrities today.

I could stare at that for hours. Here is the man who would eventually give us Funérailles, Benediction, the piano concertos, the final version of the TEs, the B minor Sonata... masterpiece after masterpiece. Awesome.

They can't show his hands in detail, because the well-kept sectret of Liszt's sensational playing is that he had 7 fingers on each hand.

YAY!
What a fantastic photo. Yes he really was a handsome man for his time! Wow. Look at those hands. Its like the hands of god. Hehe.
Looks like he had a lot of wealth too. Nice expensive clothing. Chopin's photos dont look as nice, and his clothing didn't seem as elaborate. just maybe timing or choice of clothing at the time.

Kinda looks like an American Indian. Seriously though, hero worship on PW is getting out of hand.

IT MUST BE TRUE! His left thumb sure looks large! And his right hand seems to have a lot of space! 7 fingers it must be! ahaha.

Chopin sure spent a lot of time whining about how expensive all his fine clothing cost. And gloves. And carriages.... I guess it was the price he had to pay to mingle in all those salons, playing music for the rich folks.

From Wikipedia/Daguerrotype: The French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process on January 9, 1839. Later that year William Fox Talbot announced his calotype. Together, these inventions mark 1839 as the year photography was invented.So, when this photograph was made, photography was only four years old!
