8, S.244/8, in F-sharp minor, is the eighth Hungarian Rhapsody composed by Franz Liszt for solo piano.
[1] It utilizes a melody of Hungarian folk song Káka tövén költ a ruca in the slow section.
The allegro motif was also used by Liszt in his symphonic poem Hungaria (1856).
[1] The first part of this rhapsody is based on a Gypsy song heard by Liszt in the autumn of 1846, Káka tövén költ a ruca.
The second part is based on the middle section of Mark Rózsavölgyi's Víg szeszély csárdás.
