Liszt.

Every single day of the week.

I think where their piano outputs are more or less a wash (and I much prefer Liszt here)...well Liszt wrote a lot more great music in other areas.

Great choral works like Christus, Psalm XIII, Missa Solemnis, Via Crucis, Die heilige Cäcilia - and many more works, both in the short and large scale.

Great orchestral works like Tasso, Lamento e Trionfo, Les préludes, Orpheus, Eine Faust-Symphonie,  Eine Symphonie zu Dante's Divina Commedia - and more.

I don't know Chopin's and Liszt's songs well enough to comment.

Liszt also wrote three great organ works in the Präludium und Fuge über das Thema BACH, Weinen, Klagen' Variationen, and especially the Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale Ad nos, ad salutarem undam.

Chopin, most definitely!

I enjoy Liszt also, but Chopin is and has always been one of my favorites. There are so many great works for the piano by him, many of which are even a good level for me to play.

I love Chopin so very much. But definitely Liszt.

I am going to abstain from voting.  -I like them both!

That's a tough one for me...

I'm undecided
