A journey to Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

Sara Mohr-Pietsch maps a route to the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 - one of Franz Liszt's most famous compositions.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch maps a route to Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 - one of his most famous compositions. Liszt had a deep love for his native land of Hungary, and gathered a collection of folk melodies which inspired his Hungarian Rhapsodies. On this journey, we'll explore other classical pieces inspired by folk music, including works from Bizet and Grieg, along with displays of virtuosity in music from Vivaldi and Ravi Shankar.
