Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2 is the second in the set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by Franz Liszt. He was a student of Carl Czerny, and noted especially for his showmanship and great skill with the keyboard.

The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor is particularly well known, due to its frequent use in animated cartoons. The piece has appeared in cartoons such as Mickey Mouse in The Opry House in 1929, and most well known for the Tom & Jerry Academy Award winner "The Cat Concerto". This animation was one of my favourite Tom & Jerry clips and I really enjoyed watching it everytime.



Here is the piece available as a free download, as performed by Sean Bennett, a world-class pianist hailing from Chicago, Illinios who has performed for the foreign consulates of 20 countries.
