Hungarian Fantasy (Liszt) Hungarian Fantasy (Liszt) The Fantasia on Hungarian Folk Melodies (German: "Fantasie über ungarische Volksmelodien", Hungarian: "Fantázia magyar népi dallamokkal"), commonly known in short form simply as the Hungarian Fantasy, is Franz Liszt's arrangement for piano and orchestra of his Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14, originally for solo piano. The Fantasia was written in 1852 and premiered in Pest on June 1, 1853, with Hans von Bülow as soloist and Ferenc Erkel conducting the orchestra. 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
Hungarian folksongs for voice and piano (Bartók) Hungarian folksongs for voice and piano (Bartók) Magyar népdalok énekhangra és zongorára (English: "Hungarian folk songs for voice and piano") is a collection of Hungarian folk song arrangements by Béla Bartók. Bartók's "Hungarian Folksongs" are now much better known outside Hungary in arrangements for violin and piano, or—without voice—for piano alone. One of the most famous songs "Elindultam szép hazámból" ("I left my beautiful fatherland") came to be applied to Bartók himself as he assumed the role of an exile.
