🇭🇺Franz Liszt ： Allegro vivace in g-moll S.242-20

This is a short, concentrated piece from Liszt’s set 21 Hungarian National Melodies and Rhapsodies. In keeping with the Allegro vivace indication, its overall character is driven by lively momentum and dance-like vitality. Listen for the contrast between passages that place the melody in the foreground and those that emphasize the force of the rhythm. In performance, keep the pulse moving without allowing the left-hand accompaniment to become too heavy, and let the right-hand melody sing clearly. Rather than making the accents percussive, carefully shape the clarity of the smaller figures and the dynamic changes to bring out its national energy and rhapsodic freedom.
