Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14 in F minor, S. 244/14, is a solo piano piece that was composed in 1847. It premiered in Pest, Hungary, on January 2, 1853, with Liszt himself performing. The piece is part of a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies that Liszt composed between 1846 and 1853. The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14 is divided into two main sections, with a slower, more lyrical middle section. The first section is characterized by its fast, virtuosic passages and its use of the Hungarian gypsy scale, which is a type of minor scale with a raised fourth and seventh degree. The second section is more subdued and features a beautiful melody that is played in the right hand while the left hand provides a simple accompaniment. One of the most notable characteristics of the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14 is its use of the cimbalom, a traditional Hungarian instrument that is similar to a hammered dulcimer. Liszt includes a solo for the cimbalom in the middle section of the piece, which adds to the overall exotic and folk-inspired feel of the music. Overall, the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14 is a virtuosic and exciting piece that showcases Liszt's incredible piano technique and his love for Hungarian folk music. Its use of the Hungarian gypsy scale and incorporation of traditional instruments like the cimbalom make it a unique and memorable addition to Liszt's oeuvre.
