Franz Liszt ： Hungarian Rhapsody in Es-Dur S.244/9

A theatrical, festive work in which the bustle of a carnival and a succession of contrasting dances seem to come alive. Several melodies enter like different characters, moving through elegant scenes, humorous exchanges, and increasingly excited dancing. The pianist must organize its large structure while executing repeated notes, leaps, and octaves brilliantly without losing its spontaneous sense of celebration.
