Liszt, alongside his contemporary violinist Paganini, was the greatest virtuoso of the 19th century. Consequently, many of his compositions were written to showcase his extraordinary performing technique.
Furthermore, a field that distinguished Liszt's creative activities from other composers was the opera paraphrase. These were spectacular, show-like pieces based on popular opera themes of the time, and such works enjoyed immense popularity among 19th-century audiences. This "Reminiscences of Norma" represents the pinnacle of his opera paraphrases, and in terms of performing technique, it is known as one of the most exceptionally difficult works among Liszt's numerous challenging compositions.
The great Italian pianist of yesteryear, F. Busoni, remarked about this piece, "If one is not moved by hearing this, one cannot yet claim to have mastered Liszt."
