Franz Liszt - Csárdás macabre S. 224 (audio + sheet music)

  • Liszt penned three works with csárdás in the title, which demonstrate his capacity for writing virtuosic works during his old age - particularly the Csárdás macabre. A csárdás - a Hungarian dance that usually contains a slow, free introduction (lassan or lassu) followed by a rapid, wilder type of dance (friss or friska) - is similar to a Hungarian rhapsody.
    Liszt composed the first of these, the Csárdás macabre (S 224), during 1881 and 1882. Its innovative nature includes use of repeated open fifths and the percussive effects associated with Bartokian and Stravinskyesque primitivism. Liszt himself wrote on his copy of the score: "May one write or listen to such a thing?" The introduction based in the lower register of the keyboard sets out the major rhythmic and melodic motive of the work. This particular rhythm repeats ten times through the first forty measures of the work. A clever single-note transition theme appears between mm. 41 and 48 and returns at comparable moments within the work. The first part of the main section begins with bare open perfect fifths in both hands that lasts for thirty measures.
    Measure 88 begins a dance fragment based to some degree on the single-line theme from the introduction. A new theme appears at m. 133 that Liszt varies later in the work. At m. 162 Liszt quotes a well-known folk-song "Ég a kunyhó, ropog a nád" and plays with this idea until the single-note introduction theme leads into a treble staccato theme in m. 229.
    A new and more virtuosic variation on the folk-song theme closes out the first half of the work. These themes repeat in exact order, presenting the folk song down a minor third from the original statement. The dance concludes with a rather extensive coda based principally on the a and b motives and confirms that Liszt had not lost his flair for extroverted and virtuosic works.

      @@gojewla That's of course your opinion. I am not sure whether this piece was intended to be "elegant" as it has a much more primitive and natural sound, so if that is true it might actually seem to suggest that he didn't bring out the true spirit of the piece which I think everyone would agree is not the case. I think a good point was made that they sound similar. I guess they came from the same school of thought when it came to the piano 😁 I highly respect their contribution to the piano performance catalogue of performances.

      I think the greatness of this piece comes from from the overall form, harmony and motivic development. For the form, everything has a purpose and is carefully laid out, the tonality is way ahead of its time and it sounds fantastic (outside of this recording that sounds like a chainsaw) for how complex it is. The motivic development is awesome i think, how he takes a theme of just some fifths and makes an entire ass 7 minute piece out of it. This piece is one of his most underappreciated works i think, but that's just my opinion.
