Franz Liszt ： Hungarian Rhapsody in cis-moll S.244/2

Liszt’s best-known rhapsody is celebrated for the striking contrast between its dark, dignified lassan and a friska that grows increasingly wild and exhilarating. Dotted rhythms, rapid repeated notes, wide leaps, and octaves create a wide range of technical challenges. The greatest difficulty is controlling the accelerating final section while preserving both its humor and overwhelming excitement.
