Liszt
Franz Liszt, in modern usage ''Liszt Ferenc'' . Liszt's Hungarian passport spelled his given name as "Ferencz".

His compositions were clearly influenced by Argentine folk music. His reputation was based almost entirely on his songs, and Guastavino has sometimes been called "the Schubert of the Pampas". Some of his songs, for example ''Pueblito, mi pueblo'', ''La rosa y el sauce'' ("The Rose and the Willow") and '' Se equivocó la paloma'' ("The Dove Was Mistaken"), became national favorites.
