In my opinion, it's not that other pianists can't achieve success like Liszt, it's just that they don't work as hard as Liszt behind the scenes. Most pianists only know how to play the piano and don't understand how to 'organize' a successful concert. Or to be more precise, their 'stage settings' can't compare to our Franz Liszt.
When to arrange for ladies to faint, when to arrange for someone to send flowers, when to arrange for people to scream, in this art, Liszt is truly a genius.
Of course, all of the above remarks are just my small personal guesses. Perhaps some fans of Liszt would say, Heine, you German guy don't understand anything about the piano. We are thrilled to faint solely because of Liszt's superb performance skills; he indeed possesses a god-like power, so mighty as if he handed us a hundred franc accepted bill from the Rothschild Bank.
