Program Notes
Originally written for piano in 1843, Liszt adapted this symphonic poem for orchestra in 1875. Neither of Liszt’s versions enjoy many performances today, but Singleton has rescued this work from relative obscurity in this very authentic and exciting version for wind ensemble.
- Program Note from publisher
Although rarely performed today, this miniature composition is an excellent example of his best work. In addition to the “warlike” opening motif, Liszt introduces several Hungarian dance tunes into the mix. Even though Liszt considered this piece to be a march, it strikes a listener more as an overture, or perhaps a miniature symphonic poem.
