Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No.10, Piano Sonata, Grandes Etudes de Paganini
		Hungarian Rhapsody No.10 Like his contemporaries, Liszt was fascinated with the music of the Hungarian Gypsies. In his Hungarian Rhapsodies he evokes the melodies and rhythms of that music. In this example, he also imitates the sound of the cimbalom (a Hungarian instrument similar to the hammered dulcimer) through his use of fast arpeggios, scales and tremolos.

		Piano Sonata in B minor Liszt is known mainly for his bombastic and popular pieces. However, he also wrote more abstract works, such as this complicated fugal treatment of a wandering, chromatic theme in the final movement of his Sonata for piano. Real Audio: 28k | 56k
		Grandes Etudes de Paganini, No.6 In this etude, Lizst presents a series of variations on a theme by the virtuoso violinist Nicolò Paganini. This variation shows Liszt at the top of his virtuoso form. Real Audio: 28k | 56k
