Franz Liszt ： Two Csárdás Csárdás obstiné in fis-moll S.225/R.45

This piece is grounded in the tension of F-sharp minor, while drawing on the strong pulse and dance-like momentum characteristic of the csárdás. The persistent repetition of short motives and rhythms creates an insistent impression, with a sharp capriciousness emerging from its forceful character. The contrast between denser passages and changes in flow is a key point of interest, as each repetition deepens the expression. In performance, it is important to keep the left-hand rhythm steady, avoid making the accents excessively heavy, and maintain clarity in the right hand’s intricate movement. The pedal should support the resonance without clouding the texture; boldly shaping the contrast between tension and release brings out the work’s obstinate character.
