Chapter 11 of James Joyce's Ulysses is a real treasure trove of existing and invented words and names; each word and name triggers off a whole series of associations, images, stories and sounds - particularly when the reader is a Hungarian composer who comes across the phrase “Liszt's rhapsodies”. I immediately heard music by Franz Liszt in my head and visualised the two protagonists in the novel sitting on a terrace drinking coffee, chatting and dreaming, witty and endearing - which is also a perfect description of this small piano composition for four hands. Peter Eötvös.

'The significance of the Rhapsody composed in 1904 in Gerlicepuszta and Pozsony is well shown by the fact that Bartok subsequently reserved the designation 'Opus 1' of his last, mature opus numbering for this piece. By choosing this genre Bartok was clearly following in Liszt's footsteps. But he did not merely follow the Hungarian Rhapsodies with their parading of folkloristic art songs in a virtuoso instrumental fantasy. The formal coherence of Bartok's work allows us to infer the influence of the large-scale Liszt compositions he then knew, such as the B minor Sonata. Unlike Liszt, Bartok builds his Rhapsody not on familiar melodies but on themes of his own invention, yet hisstyle is still that of nineteenth-century folkiness, and draws on the art-music tradition based on the verbunkos and the csardas.'

Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 was composed in 1847 for piano solo and is dedicated to Count László Teleki. It soon became famous and the unofficial standard for every celebrated pianist. It was also arranged for orchestra as well as for piano for four hands. This arrangement for brass quintet successfully captures the flair, fun and temperament of the piece and therefore is a welcome addition to the brass repertoire.

Laszlo Dubrovay wrote the following about Liszt and the piece now being published: +Liszt was for me the most important composer in my youth, and as a pianist I played a great number of his works. I admired him as an innovator, who enriched the technique of playing the instrument in a manner unparalleled in piano literature. Later his creative genius captivated me, as he opened up new paths for the future. His works paved the way for impressionism, expressionism, 20th-century folklorism and dodecaphonic thinking. His innovations were always material realisations of spiritual renewal. My Rapsodia ungherese follows the +Slow + Fast- single-movement formal concept of Liszt-s rhapsodies.+ Piano Score: 14633, score and orchestral material on hire.

This volume contains Liszt's earliest pieces written in a Hungarian style. The complete set of Magyar dallok / Ungarische National-Melodien [Hungarian songs] consisting of 11 items is published here for the first time in a scholarly edition. The composer began to write them resulting from his first return visit to Pest in 1839. The music of these pieces was partly re-used by Liszt at the beginning of the 1850s in his deservedly popular 15 Hungarian Rhapsodies. The Carnival at Pest was inspired by his second tour of Hungary in 1846 it was later re-worked as the 9th Hungarian Rhapsody. The present volume also contains the so far unknown very first version of the 1st HungarianRhapsody, and in addition two large fragments from the 1840s plus a number of album leaves. A detailed preface in Hungarian, English, and German, including new research results, numerous manuscript facsimiles, and critical notes, makes this volume of the New Liszt Edition an important publication of immense scholarly value. Along with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a paperback version for practical use has also been published. This edition's contents are identical to those of the hardcover edition with the exception that the critical notes are not included. Dieser Band enthält Liszts früheste im ungarischen Stil komponierte Werke. Die gesamte Reihe der Magyar dallok / Ungarische National-Melodien besteht aus 11 Stücken und wurde hier zum ersten Mal in einer wissenschaftlichen Ausgabe veröffentlicht. Der Komponist begann sie in Folge seiner ersten Wiederkehr zu Pest 1839 zu schreiben. Die Musik dieser Stücke wurde teilweise von Liszt Anfang der 1850er Jahre in seinen verdientermaßen populären 15 Ungarischen Rhapsodien wiederverwendet. Der Pester Karneval wurde inspiriert von Liszts zweiter Ungarn-Tournee 1846: er wurde später neubearbeitet als 9. Ungarische Rhapsodie. Der vorliegende Band enthält ebenfalls die bisher unbekannte ersteFassung der 1. Ungarischen Rhapsodie, ferner zwei große Fragmente aus den 1840er Jahren sowie etliche Albumblätter.

Of the early versions of works included in this volume the first versions of the notably popular Consolations cycle and Grand solo de concert (published in 1850) are of particular interest. In the first version of Consolations the third movement was a style hongrois piece whose thematic material was later used by Liszt in his Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1 (published in 1851). The first version of Grand solo de concert shows that the work did not originally include a slow middle section to be recapitulated towards the end as seen in the final version. This is a characteristically Lisztian feature that would reappear a few years later in his Sonata in B minor. A detailed preface inHungarian, English, and German, including new research results, numerous manuscript facsimiles, and critical notes, makes this volume of the New Liszt Edition an important publication of immense scholarly value. Along with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a paperback version for practical use has also been published. This edition's contents are identical to those of the hardcover edition with the exception that the critical notes are not included. Of the early versions of works included in Supplementary Volume 10, particular interest is expected in the first versions of the notably popular Consolations cycle and the monumental Grand solo de concert of 1850. In the first version of Consolationsthe third movement was a style hongrois piece whose thematic material Liszt used again later in the first piece of the Hungarian Rhapsodies published in 1851. The first version of the Grand solo de concert shows that the original concept did notinclude the slow “movement” that would be placed in the middle of the work and recapitulated towards the end in the final version - a characteristically Lisztian feature that would reappear a few years later in the Sonata in B flat minor.A detailed preface in Hungarian, English and German, including new research result and, numerous manuscript facsimiles make the practical paperback version of this volume of the New Liszt Edition a specially important publication of scholarly value.Von den im vorliegenden Band veröffentlichten Werkversionen dürften der außerordentlich populäre Consolations-Zyklus sowie die Erstfassung des 1850 entstandenen Grand solo de concert (Großes Konzertsolo) auf besonderes Interesse stoßen. In der ersten Fassung der Consolations stand an dritter Stelle noch ein Stück im ungarischen Stil, dessen Thematik Liszt später im 1851 herausgegebenen 1. Stück der Ungarischen Rhapsodien verwendete. Die erste Version des Großen Konzertsolos belegt, dass der in der Mitte der Komposition angelegte und kurz vor Ende rekapitulierte langsame Teil, welcher zum typisch Lisztschen Element der endgültigen Fassung des Konzertsolos - und einige Jahre späterauch der H-Moll-Sonate - wird, noch kein Bestandteil der ursprünglichen Konzeption war.

Hungarian Rhapsody N° 2 is the second in a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt, and is by far the most famous of the set. Few other piano solos have achieved such widespread popularity, offering the pianist the opportunity to reveal exceptional skill as a virtuoso while providing an immediate and irresistible musical appeal for the listener.Both the original piano solo form and the orchestrated version of this composition have found widespread use in animated cartoons. Its themes have also served as the basis of several popular songs.Composed in 1847 and dedicated to Count László Teleki, Hungarian Rhapsody N° 2 was first published as a pianosolo in 1851. Its immediate success and popularity on the concert stage soon led to an orchestrated version, arranged by the composer in collaboration with Franz Doppler. The Japanese composer Tohru Takahashi has made a splendid transcription of this great music for clarinet choir. A wonderful piece of music for an advanced ensemble! De Hongaarse rapsodie nr. 2 is verreweg de beroemdste uit een set van negentien Hongaarse rapsodieën van de hand van componist Franz Liszt. Er zijn maar weinig andere werken voor pianosolo die net zo geliefd zijn. De pianist krijgt in deze rapsodie de mogelijkheid om zijn of haar virtuositeit tentoon te spreiden en een directe, onweerstaanbare muzikale antrekkingskracht op de luisteraar uit te oefenen.Zowel de originele pianosolo als de georkestreerde versie van deze compositie is veel gebruikt in tekenfilms. De thema??s die erin voorkomen, hebben ook gediend als basis voor diverse populaire songs.De tweede Hongaarse rapsodie, die werd gecomponeerd in 1847 en isopgedragen aan graaf László Teleki, werd in 1851 voor het eerst uitgegeven als pianosolo, door Senff en Ricordi. Het onmiddellijke succes en de populariteit op het concertpodium leidden tot een georkestreerde versie, die de componist zelf maakte, in samenwerking met Franz Doppler.De Japanse componist Tohru Takahashi heeft deze prachtige muziek bewerkt tot een uitstekende transcriptie voor gevorderd klarinetensemble. Die Ungarische Rhapsodie Nr. 2 ist die bei weitem berühmteste der insgesamt neunzehn Ungarischen Rhapsodien von Franz Liszt und gehört zu den bekanntesten Werken für Klavier solo überhaupt. Virtuos und unwiderstehlich zieht es Zuhörer wie Interpreten gleicherma?en in seinen Bann. Sowohl das originale Klaviersolo als auch die orchestrierte Version dieser Komposition werden häufig in Zeichentrickfilmen verwendet. Die darin vorkommenden Themen dienten auch schon als Basis für diverse Popsongs.Die Ungarische Rhapsodie Nr. 2 aus dem Jahr 1847 wurde 1851 zunächst als Klaviersolo veröffentlicht. Der unmittelbare Erfolg und die Popularität auf der Konzertbühne führten zueiner orchestrierten Version, die der Komponist, in Zusammenarbeit mit Franz Doppler, selbst anfertigte.Die hier vorliegende ausgezeichnete Transkription für fortgeschrittenen Klarinettenchor stammt aus der Feder des japanischen Komponisten Tohru Takahashi. La Rhapsodie hongroise n° 2 est la deuxième d??une série de 19 Rhapsodies hongroises de Franz Liszt. Elle est de loin la plus célèbre de la série parce qu'elle permet au pianiste de révéler des compétences de virtuose tout en offrant l??auditeur un attrait immédiat et irrésistible.Que ce soit sous sa forme originale pour piano solo ou dans sa version orchestrale, cette composition a souvent été employée dans les dessins animés. Ses thèmes ont également inspiré plusieurs chansons populaires.Composée en 1847 et dédiée au comte László Teleki, la Rhapsodie hongroise n° 2 fut d??abord publiée pour piano solo en 1851 par Senff et Ricordi. Son succès immédiat et sapopularité dans les salles de concert engendrèrent rapidement une version pour orchestre, arrangée par le compositeur lui-même en collaboration avec Franz Doppler.Le compositeur japonais Tohru Takahashi a réalisé une splendide transcription de cette oeuvre pour ensemble de clarinettes. Une musique merveilleuse pour des musiciens avancés !

Árpád Balázs (*1937) composed the first version of Rhapsody for Hungarian cimbalom and concert band in 2001; in 2021, on the encouragement by a Japanese marimba player he arranged the solo part for marimba, and therefore the opportunities for the work to beplayed have significantly widened. The Rhapsody follows the one-movement structure created by Franz Liszt. The beginning solo section of the cimbalom (or marimba) returns before the coda as a pillar of the form. The composition, which can be divided into five sections, develops and works with a Lydian tetrachordal motif (G-A-B-C sharp) in different characters, stretching the span of music from a simple, children's song-like appearance to an obstinate ritual dance. In conclusion, the Rhapsody is a passionately emotional lyric orchestral poem rich in colours and characters, which has a place on the repertoire of every concert band playing quality music.
