A virtuosity of terror: like his contemporary writers, painters, and musicians, Liszt, fascinated by the macabre, depicts terrifying visions of horror and Hell, surpassing the traditional use of the piano. In Danse des morts, Pensée des morts, Funérailles, and Mephisto-Walzer, his demonic virtuosity serves a gothic and fantastic romantic imagination. Summoning the Dies irae and medieval frescoes where one hears skeletons dancing and death reaping heads, he never forgets to evoke the hope of Christian faith.
