Especially for him, having spent much of his life abroad, this genre served as a means of conveying his complex feelings toward Hungary and his national pride; he elevated it to a dramatic work of art by making full use of bold harmonies and chromatic techniques. This collection includes the “Hungarian March, S. 233,” which incorporates the passionate rhythms of the “Verbenkos”—a recruitment dance used to enlist young Hungarians into the army—as well as the “Heroic March, S. 231”—which would later evolve into the symphonic poem “Hungary”—among other works that reflect his fervent feelings for his homeland. The “March for the Coronation, S. 523” is not merely a simple ode to the homeland; it blends longing for a distant homeland, national pride, and a complex perspective on harsh political realities. This album also showcases the diverse range of expression Liszt incorporated into the march form, including the deeply introspective “Funeral March, S. 226a,” composed upon the death of his father when he was 15, and the “March of Loyalty, S. 228,” dedicated to the Archduke.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53255625277729,"sku":"4945604746984","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604746984.jpg?v=1786765408","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ie\/products\/4945604746984","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
