A beautiful statue of the Hungarian composer Franz Liszt.

A beautiful statue looks at us from the balcony on the corner of the Episcopal Palace, which is itself part of the statue. Imre Varga's work, a plate sculpture commemorating the concert of Ferenc Liszt in Pécs. He recalls the visit of the world-famous composer and composer on October 24, 1846, when he was a guest of the Bishop of Pécs. Here he composed his composition, which became known as the "Mass of Esztergom" - since the client became a bishop of Esztergom. About Ferenc Liszt based on Wikipedia "Ferenc Liszt (German Franz Liszt; Doborján, October 22, 1811 - Bayreuth, July 31, 1886) is a Hungarian composer, pianist, conductor and music teacher. One of the most outstanding pianists of all time, one of the most significant composers of 19th century romance. His father, Ádám Liszt, an official of Prince Esterházy, recognized his son's exceptional musical talent early on and seized every opportunity to unleash it. At the age of nine, Liszt was already playing the piano in public in Sopron and Bratislava, and soon, with the support of art lords, he was able to continue his studies in Vienna as a student of Czerny and Salieri. He made his debut in Vienna on December 1, 1822. The first concert of 11-year-old Liszt was very noticeable. Here he met Beethoven, mediated by Czerny, who had previously been a disciple of Beethoven. Here, too, his first work, variations on the same Diabelli theme (orbit), on which he wrote Beethoven's famous piano work, appeared in print. After the young Liszt's performance in Vienna, after four highly successful concerts in Pest and Buda, he traveled to France with his father in the autumn of 1823 and moved to one of the centers of European art life, Paris. His admission to the Paris Conservatoire was blocked by Cherubini, the head of the institution, so he returned to Vienna, where he studied music theory and counterpoint on a private trip, while embarking on a concert tour. His introduction to London was followed by a number of new invitations to France, Switzerland and then again to England. His program mostly included daydreams and paraphrases written for popular operas. In 1827 he settled for a time in the French capital, where, thanks to his talent, he became a celebrated hero of social life. Here he met Chopin, from whom he learned the nuances of playing the piano, and Berlioz, from whom he learned the orchestral language and the new achievements of program music. In the late 1830s, he embarked on further concert tours, touring all over Europe, from Portugal to Russia. In 1835 he became a professor at the Geneva Conservatory. He supported the victims of the Pest flood disaster of 1838 with the income of his concerts in Vienna. He also contributed generously to the creation of the Beethoven Monument in Bonn a few years later. During her concert tours in Russia, she became acquainted with the art and love of Russian composers, Princess Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, who later contributed to her literary work. In the early 1940s, he became the conductor of the court theater in Weimar, where he popularized and conducted the works of his contemporaries, and taught beginning musicians and composers from all over the continent. Liszt shared the last decades of his life between Weimar, Rome and Budapest. In the first years of the Budapest Academy of Music, he was happy to help the newly formed center of Hungarian music culture and undertook to teach here for a few months of the year. (...) "

It's in a nice place, good man.

On May 29, 1983, the statue of Imre Varga, a Kossuth Prize-winning sculptor from Ferenc Liszt, was unveiled with a chrome nickel. This was Hungary's first independent, open-air Liszt statue. The world-famous composer is depicted leaning from a balcony. Ferenc Liszt paid a four-day visit to the city of Pécs in October 1846, during which time he gave several official and unofficial concerts and made various offerings, which rightly increased his popularity among the townspeople. Legend has it that the townspeople thanked Liszt for visiting with a serenade, which the famous composer listened to from the balcony. This serenade is silenced by detailed accounts, but it would be a good story anyway. The sculptor Imre Varga also created the nearby Kodály statue, which was inaugurated seven years earlier, not far from here.
