"Slavimo, slavni, Slaveni!" is a piano piece composed by Franz Liszt in 1863. It was premiered in the same year in Pest, Hungary. The piece is part of a collection of works called "Magyar Dalok" (Hungarian Songs), which were inspired by Hungarian folk music and culture. The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, marked "Allegro moderato," is a lively and energetic dance in 2/4 time. It features a driving rhythm and a melody that is reminiscent of traditional Hungarian folk music. The second movement, marked "Andante," is a slower and more contemplative piece. It features a beautiful melody that is played in the right hand, while the left hand provides a gentle accompaniment. The third movement, marked "Allegro vivace," is a fast and lively dance in 6/8 time. It features a playful melody that is passed between the hands, as well as a number of virtuosic flourishes and runs. Overall, "Slavimo, slavni, Slaveni!" is a wonderful example of Liszt's ability to incorporate folk music into his compositions. The piece is full of energy, passion, and virtuosity, and it showcases Liszt's mastery of the piano. It is a true gem of the piano repertoire, and it continues to be performed and enjoyed by pianists and audiences around the world.
