Guns N Roses - Since I Dont Have You (Chorus)

We can say that he made sacrifices not to his work, but to music as a whole. And, perhaps, one of the most difficult victims for him was a partial abandonment of his homeland - physical, but not spiritual. This was precisely the tragic contradiction: it was impossible for Liszt to be outside the pan-European musical life, his talent outgrew the scale of little Hungary. Loving her wholeheartedly, not for a moment forgetting about his national roots, he was forced to dwell mainly in France (in the first half of his life), Italy and Germany - in countries with developed centuries-old musical traditions; in countries where, then, the struggle for new music was most acute and where only one could get a ticket to great art. Isn't this a “split personality”The gap between the passionate desire to live at home and the need to be at the forefront of the "musical front" is the main reason for Liszt’s desperate and selfless help in the formation of many national music schools, so that no creator would ever have to make a painful choice - homeland or art?
