  • Title : Franz Liszt , Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 Orchestra
    From Wikipedia
    Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, S.244/2, 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 the listener with an immediate and irresistible musical appeal.
    In both the original piano solo form and in the orchestrated version this composition has enjoyed widespread use in animated cartoons. Its themes have also served as the basis of several popular songsThe Hungarian-born composer and pianist Franz Liszt was strongly influenced by the music heard in his youth, particularly Hungarian gypsy music, with its unique gypsy scale, rhythmic spontaneity and direct, seductive expression. These elements would eventually play a significant role in Liszt's compositions. Although this prolific composer's works are highly varied in style, a relatively large part of his output is nationalistic in character, the Hungarian Rhapsodies being an ideal example.
    Composed in 1847 and dedicated to Count Laszlo Teleky, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 was first published as a piano solo in 1851 by Senff and Ricordi. Its immediate success and popularity on the concert stage soon led to an orchestrated version, arranged by the composer in collaboration with Franz Doppler, and published by Schuberth. In addition to the orchestral version, the composer arranged a piano duet version in 1874, published by Schuberth the following year.
    By the late 19th century and early 20th century, the excruciating technical challenges of the piano solo version led to its acceptance as the "unofficial standard" by which every notable pianist would "prove his salt", usually as a smashing finale. It had become an expected staple of virtually every performance of the greatest pianists of the time. Offering an outstanding contrast to the serious and dramatic lassan, the following friska holds enormous appeal for audiences, with its simple alternating tonic and dominant harmonization, its energetic, toe-tapping rhythms, and breath-taking "pianistics".
    Most unusual in this composition is the composer's invitation for the performer to improvise an original Cadenza, although most pianists choose to decline the invitation. A noteworthy example of such a cadenza is heard in the performance of Marc-André Hamelin. Other pianists have arranged their own versions of the Rhapsody with changes beyond that of simply adding a cadenza, most notably Vladimir Horowitz in 1953.
    Eventually the piano solo version of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 had run its course with audiences. However, it retains the dubious honor of being perhaps the most over-played composition in the entire piano concert repertoire. Nonetheless, the original piano solo remains an exciting musical experience for pianist and audience alike.The piece consists of two distinct sections.

    As I listen to this I am reminded of how much the time I spent listening to classical music as an undergraduate enhanced my learning experience. My degree is in mathematics and I can so clearly remember doing my abstract algebra assignments with this particular piece of music in the background. I think that this piece and others helped me in many ways get through my formal mathematical training.

      @@Steffu As was most of America. Seems to be a common thing that cartoon makers in the '40's, 50's and even early 60's used classical music as a cheap narration for their work. Was it that we were more cultured then? maybe so because as a child growing up in rural WV. I had an ear for classical and didn't even know what I was hearing. My taste in music varies from mild to wild but I still appreciate the sound of a good classical piece. I usually don't have any idea who the piece is by but I like what I like and that is based on my ear. I have noticed that I favor(as I lose a little of my hearing) violin and string music more.

      This type of music still exists, there are modern composers yet they're not as popular as they should be. Hans Zimmer, Craig Armstrong, Max Ritcher, John Williams etc. are mainly composers who write for film scores yet most of their music is still great and appreciated after years. Then there are also several modern day composers (I can't really name much because I don't knew many, except maybe Bogdan Alin Odin) as well as RUclips-Famous composers like Adrian von Ziegler, Brunuhville or Peter who try to follow in the footsteps of Film-Composers who themselves have their own approach.
