Limestone and cement, Liszt admitted that he didn't really understand them; he only knew that both were calcined and very common.
But as for what the connection between them was or what their components were, that was not very clear to him.
"However, if I remember correctly, I once watched a documentary about China building the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway in Africa, where it mentioned the problem of cement production. Due to a lack of raw materials, the Chinese experts eventually chose to use local volcanic ash as one of the raw materials for cement?"
When he watched this documentary, Liszt felt very proud. It was a great achievement of his homeland. What he remembered most clearly was that cement could actually be made from volcanic ash.
So.
