	I have it!  Liszt must have been trying to become the Paganini of the
piano.  Paganini had much, much more flexible and stretchy wrists and
fingers than normal musicians because - at least it is now believed by
some - he suffered from Marfan syndrome, an inherited disorder that
weakens the body's connective tissues.  See the following website for
more details:
