Liszt: Excerpts from Hungarian Rhapsody ...

LISZTONIAN.COM
About this episode

This is the piece of music made famous by Bugs Bunny! One of the all-time favorite classical piano works - Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. I only recorded excerpts from this piece for two reasons. First, because I used this as an audition piece for a talent competition for which the perfomance had to be under three minutes. Second, because I haven't learned to play the rest well enough to record it!

I hope you enjoy my recording of excerpts from Liszt's most famous Hungarian Rhapsody!
