Hungarian Rhapsodies
During Liszt's lifetime, his Hungarian Rhapsodies were among his most popular works. Because of this popularity, he may have been under pressure to produce versions of them for piano and orchestra. The present work is the only such work that Liszt is known to have produced. However he may, at the end of his life, have helped his student Sophie Menter with her "Concerto in the Hungarian Style" (1885), a work which was clearly influenced by the Hungarian Fantasy.
