Today is the Birthday of Franz Liszt(1811-1886). he was a Hungarian composer. I am not as familiar with his music. He became a monk later in life. he did produce sacred works.
His most famous work is probably the Hungarian Rhapsody #2 which was featured in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Bugs is playing it and he is disturbed by a mouse. Classical music was often used in Looney Tunes cartoons. He had an iconic looking face. He had a minor role in the 1943 version of Phantom of the Opera. His daughter Cosima was the wife of Richard Wagner.
