* CreatorWorship: Liszt was, for all intents and purposes, a rock star before the word was even invented. He was known for his smoldering good looks, and his piano playing was so intoxicating it would send women into fits of the vapours. Literally. There was even a word coined for it: "Lisztomania", as women were sent into states akin to religious ecstasy, and then fought each other for bits of his clothing.
