Works written in Rome include the oratorios Die Legende von der heiligen Elisabeth and Christus. In 1859 he moved to Rome and joined the Roman Catholic church, receiving the tonsure in 1865. In 1848 Liszt settled in Weimar, with works from this period including many symphonic poems (a genre he invented), the Faust-Symphonie, the B Minor Piano Sonata and numerous songs.
