What style of music did franz liszt write?

Liszt wrote hundreds of works in the Romantic style for solo piano. He also notably made piano transcriptions of large symphonic works, which made them more accessible to the public, piano concerts being more common than orchestral ones. Although he wrote a number of suites on nationalist styles and themes, certainly the most familiar are the Hungarian Rhapsodies; Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, for example, has appeared in dozens of films and television programs, including seven episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures and three of Animaniacs.

His symphonic poems are fine examples of Romanticism as it appeared in the late 19th century. The 13 single-movement works established the genre of "program music," in which music is used to illustrate ideas from literature, art, and mythology.
