Lisztomania

Lisztomania or Lizst fever is a term used to describe the intense fan frenzy directed toward Franz Liszt during his performances.

Lisztomania was characterized by a hysterical reaction to Liszt and his concerts. Liszt's playing was reported to raise the mood of the audience to a level of mystical ecstacy. Admirers of Lizst would swarm over him, fighting over his handkerchiefs and gloves. Fans would wear his portrait on brooches and cameos. Women would try to get locks of his hair, and whenever he broke a piano string, admirers would try to obtain it in order to make a bracelet.

Lisztomania began to be seen as a real medical condition that was contagious, and critics tried to take measures to immunize the public against the condition.
