 In fact, Liszt had made so much money by his mid-forties that virtually all his performing fees after 1857 went to charity.While his work for the Beethoven monument and the Hungarian National School of Music is well known, he also gave generously to the building fund of Cologne Cathedral, the establishment of a "Gymnasium" at Dortmund, and the construction of the Leopold Church in Pest.There were also private donations to hospitals, schools, and charitable organizations such as the Leipzig Musicians Pension Fund.
