[36] The case of Liszt is somewhat apart from the others. The earliest
form of his name appears to be Listhius, which Dr. Kuhač claims with
some plausibility as Slavonic (naše gore list). But as early as 1747
the Magyarised form appears in the person of Canon Johann Liszt; and
there can be little doubt that by the time of the great pianist’s birth
the family had become thoroughly Hungarian. There are, of course, many
Hungarian families in which Magyar and Slavonic strains are united, and
in the music of Liszt the Magyar element unquestionably predominates.
