No. 2 in C-sharp minor

This is the most popular work in the collection. There are sections throughout where cadenzas can be inserted, and Liszt himself left multiple cadenzas. It is also known for being arranged and performed by Horowitz.

An impressive Lassan follows an introduction of delicate ornamental notes, featuring a theme that uses the leading tone in a Gypsy scale-like manner. Within the Lassan, a theme imitating the cimbalom already appears, which then becomes the first theme of the Friska. The Friska section of this piece further accelerates the tempo with another Gypsy scale-like theme (in F-sharp minor), followed by a succession of powerful Vivace themes (in F-sharp major) and familiar themes reminiscent of "Csikos Post."

Dedicated to Count László Teleki.
