Maybe I'm delusional, but I hear such depth to so much of Liszt's music, and it's hard for me to reconcile comments from the peanut gallery about him. Some of it is pure ignorance, such as Ezra Pound's amateurish assertion that Liszt didn't know much about chords {!}. I swear, if anybody knew about chords, it was Liszt!
(Not that I don't like Chopin too!)
