From Google

"For one thing, the phrase "his native Hungary" must be read with some caution. A present-day traveler in Hungary would not find Liszt's birthplace there, for it's located in the town of Raiding, in the Austrian province (land) of Burgenland."

So do I get a point as Austria is also correct? ;) 8)
