Franz Liszt's cosmopolitan spirit, extroverted character and philosophical approach to creation are fully evident in his compositions. In contrast, the opus of his close friend Charles-Valentin Alkan, the relatively neglected "Berlioz of the Piano", shows the traces of his introverted and seemingly misanthropic temperament.

It is generally known that Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-Flat Major is an important evolutionary step forward in this genre, while Alkan's Concerto for Solo Piano represents a cross-genre hybrid of a kind.
