Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1

Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1

Hungarian Rhapsody Number 1 is the first of a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt. Work on the piece began in 1846 in Klausenberg, and it was published in 1853. The piece, like many in the set, is composed in the "csárdás" style, signified by two sections: the "lassú" (slower, first section) and the "friss" (faster, second section). Also typical for the set, themes in the piece can be traced to earlier sources, specifically Ferenc Erkel and Gáspár Bernát in the first section, and Károly Thern in the second. The gypsy Laci Pócsi and his band are said to have been a source of inspiration for this piece.
