Chopin and Liszt: Frenemys?

Dominic Cheli Another interesting topic, thank you. I can't remember which live stream, but you played Réminiscences de Don Juan, one of my favorite Liszt pieces but wow is it difficult (how long did it take you to learn?). You did an amazing job, btw. So much of his stuff looks unplayable to me compared to Chopin. Is there a pathway for the average pianist to Liszt's works, and what can we learn from studying Liszt that we may not get from Chopin. Perhaps you have some recommendations for more approachable Liszt works.
