Franz Liszt ： Hungarian Rhapsody in d-moll S.244/17

Brief, fragmented motifs and dark silences define this concentrated late rhapsody. Instead of brilliant showmanship, unstable harmonies and interrupted gestures create a world far removed from the exuberance of Liszt’s earlier dances. Its interpretation depends on giving weight to individual notes, sustaining tension through rests, and handling abrupt changes of expression with great sensitivity.
