Description
The eighteen Ungarischer Romanzero are transcriptions of popular Hungarian melodies made partially in collaboration with violinist Ede Reményi. The manuscripts are not always complete, with space for performers to add their own elaborations, or to follow Liszt’s own hints on his own performances of pieces that give valuable insights into his Hungarian influences in their rawest form. The Hungarian National Melodies provide opportunities for amateur players, while the hugely popular Rákóczi March became the unofficial national anthem of Hungary, also being used by Berlioz and other composers.
