A journey to Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

Music Map

Available for 26 days

Sara Mohr-Pietsch maps a route to Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 - one of his most famous compositions. Liszt had a deep love for his native land of Hungary, and gathered a collection of folk melodies which inspired his Hungarian Rhapsodies. On this journey, we'll explore other classical pieces inspired by folk music, including works from Bizet and Grieg, along with displays of virtuosity in music from Vivaldi and Ravi Shankar. To listen to this programme on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Music Map'.
