Liszt by no means renounces virtuosity and elegance, but rather infuses these characteri…

In 1848, the thirteen year old Henryk Wieniawski wrote the first sketches to his Polonaise in D major. The composition was published in Germany in 1853 as Polonaise de Concert in D major op. 4 for violin with piano or orchestra accompaniment.

But precisely because, in Ezio?s words…

Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. When Berlioz won the Prix de Rome in 1830 he had already composed several major works such as the Symphonie Fantastique. Indeed, he became the essential French romantic composer. The Hungarian March is taken from the fourth act of The Damnation of Faust, a dramatic legend composed in 1846 and sometimes performed in the form of an opera. Previoiusly Berlioz had given it the sub-…
