The piece was composed in 2011 and premiered on October 22, 2011, at the Bilkent Concert Hall in Ankara, Turkey. The composition is a tribute to the Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, who is considered one of the greatest pianists of all time. The composition consists of three movements, each of which is inspired by a different aspect of Liszt's life and work. The first movement, titled "Virtuosity," is a fast-paced and technically demanding piece that showcases the pianist's virtuosity. The second movement, titled "Romanticism," is a slower and more lyrical piece that captures the romantic spirit of Liszt's music. The third movement, titled "Transcendence," is a grand and majestic piece that reflects Liszt's spiritual and philosophical beliefs. The composition is characterized by its use of virtuosic piano techniques, such as rapid arpeggios, octave runs, and tremolos. It also features a wide range of dynamics, from soft and delicate passages to powerful and dramatic climaxes. The composition is written in a traditional tonal style, with clear harmonic progressions and melodic themes. Overall, 'A Tribute to Franz Liszt, Op. 77' is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time. It showcases Firat's own virtuosity as a pianist and his deep appreciation for Liszt's music and legacy. The composition is a testament to the enduring influence of Liszt's music on generations of composers and pianists.
