many people filled the concert halls to hear his playing. He wrote a
lot of music for the piano. Many of his piano pieces are more difficult
to play than anything written in the past. In this way, he created and
developed the technique of playing the piano, so that he was able
to set and apply new standards for the future. In his compositions, he
often used new ideas that sounded very modern in his day. He was
very helpful to other composers who lived in his day; he helped them
