Chopin. I don't know all the technical, musical terms and can't discuss his "greatness" in terms of his contributions to the history of music, but I can say that his pieces touch a part of my spirit. When I am feeling joyful, he lifts me even higher. When I am feeling stressed, he soothes me. When I need to disappear for a while and leave the rest of the world behind, he shows me the doorway to a secret garden. To be able to transport someone with music is a true gift, and for me, Chopin has it in abundance.

Chopin thought very highly of Liszt's interpretations of his music. Liszt is reputed to be perhaps the greatest of all pianists, but his output as a composer is less reliable. Most of the piano music he wrote was designed to show how great a pianist he was. Chopin, as a composer for the piano (which he composed for almost exclusively) is still unsurpassed to this day. He was a wonderful pianist but more at home in a smaller setting, whereas Liszt basically invented the solo concert as a showcase for his own phenomenal talents as a performer.

Liszt replaced right into a greater appropriate pianist...a watch witness account stated that Liszt sight examine all of Chopin's Etudes completely on the 1st attempt...there have been distinctive information of Liszt enjoying and his wonderful technique on the piano...Chopin and Liszt in demand one yet another too...

Liszt because he was crazy! Sure, Chopin wrote some beautiful music, but Liszt always brought the house down! His Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 is my favorite piece of his!

I never heard either of them play, so I cannot say.
Lizst was a rock star with the ability to thunder out the music, whereas Chopin's tone was quiet and highly colored according to all reports.
One responder above says that Chopin liked the way Lizst played his Etudes. I think it is more accurate to say he envied the way Lizst played them. Chopin did not have the strength to project like Lizst did. But Chopin was famous for insisting his music be played AS WRITTEN -- and Lizst was famous for taking outrageous liberties with the music. I can't imagine that would sit well with Chopin.
I probably would not have liked Lizst's excess, and would be more in tune with Chopin's subtlety and finesse.

As pianist I'll never know. although I am quite ancient I never heard either of them perform and I can't find any Cd's of their live performances.
In terms of composition, Chopin. He obviously worked very hard to write elegant completely finished music. Liszt on the other hand, seems to me occasionally to rely on showmanship and tricks to make his musical points.
That said, I am reminded that Schoenberg called Liszt the gateway to modern music.

Liszt!
And I know Chopin did, too - he liked Liszt's performances of his etudes the best :)

I like Chopin - but he's sometimes a little too frou frou.
Liszt has raw energy in his music, and what a composer/arranger. Check out his transcription of Beriloz's Symphonie Fantastique for Piano...utterly amazing.
