From Vienna, the young Liszt embarked on his first concert tour, which took him to Munich, Augsburg, Stuttgart, Strasbourg and Paris, a city where he gave no fewer than 38 concerts in two months. Successful appearances in England followed, and in no time his reputation as a great pianist was established throughout Europe – and without the help of today’s electronic media.
