Franz Liszt the famous pianist
They say his piano skill was unsurpassed
And no one else could play as fast
As Franz Liszt the famous pianist
And everyone who saw him all agreed
No one could match his finger speed
Yes Franz Liszt the famous pianist
Could play the minute waltz so quickly that
He'd end in thirty seconds flat
Yes Franz Liszt the famous pianist
The crowds all cheered when he picked up the pace
His fingers pounding out the bass
His hair all-flying in his face
A wild goose upon a chase
Cause every concert was a race
And Franz Liszt always won first place
He could play the piano faster than the fastest piano master
Faster than Chopin or Bach
Or Haydn, Handel and Bartok
Faster than Franck or Puccini
Or Beethoven or Rossini
Or Johann or Ricard Strauss
Clara Schumann or her spouse
Faster than Rachmaninov
Or even Rimsky Korsakov
Or Tchaikovsky or Vivaldi
Or Mozart, Berg or Brahms
Or Byrd or Bellini or Boccherini or Paganini or Cherubini,
Or Wagner, Verdi, Wolf, Weil, Vaughn, Scarlatti, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky
Oh my gosh! He was fast.
That's Franz Liszt!
