Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6

The piece is divided into three main sections: The first part of the rhapsody is an introduction (Tempo giusto), where the left hand of the player plays a steady bassline made up of the chords in the D-flat major scale.

The second part (presto) is in C-sharp major (which is simply an enharmonic version of the previous D-flat, not a modulation) and has a lively rhythm, leading to the lassan in B-flat minor.

The lassan is played slowly, with a rhythm in improvisational style, again finishing with a large cadenza at the end, leading sequentially to the friska (Allegro) in B-flat major.

The final part of the piece ends with chromatic scales in octaves moving in contrary motion, leading to B-flat major chords.

The first of the themes in this rhapsody is a song titled Chlopitzky nóta from the collection of the next edition of József Szerdahelyi and Béni Egressy in 1843, which was already included in the 4th and 5th numbers of Magyar Dallok, Volume I.
