Complete Hungarian Rhapsodies for Solo Piano

Unrivaled as a virtuoso pianist in his own day — and perhaps still — Franz Liszt was a composer of daring originality. He introduced new conceptions of harmony and melody and made radical innovations in piano technique. In a long and prolific career, he produced over 400 works for piano — brilliant compositions with flashes of eloquence and energy that evoke a full, rich orchestral sound. Best known and best loved are the Hungarian Rhapsodies.
