It usually starts with some kind of exposition.  The overall form seems to through-composed - sections do not repeat.  The last section is usually some catchy tune, like the HungRapper2 or 6 that many people enjoy, though they may not like what was played before the tune.

Personally, I don't like any of the Hung Rappers!

Personally, No.1 and No.19 strike a special chord (haha  :Dlittle joke there) with me because its amazing to see how Liszt's style changed throughout his lifetime.  No.2 is a lot of fun to listen to and to play around with.  No.12 is probably the most heroic, and No.7 is the most gypsy like in its tone.

BTW? what is a rhapsody?  I keep thinking it must be a mix between a taco and a burrito.

Hey in my opinion, the good ones are 2, 6, 10,11,13, and spanish rhapsody. I've played the Spanish Rhapsody and it is so difficult.  ive never liked no.12, its a bit cheesy.

14 slays.

on top of the 19 rhapsodies, I also recommend the Hungarian Fantasy, which is really another hungarian rhapsody, but larger and with orchestra.

you know, its just based on No.14 with more flashy cadenzas and organized into a concerto with many variations..

Jeno Jando recorded all of them on Naxos.  You can prolly find it at your local library or just buy them....its naxos!  they're cheap!!  Or, you can subscribe to naxos.com and listen to their whole collection!
