脕rp谩d Bal谩zs (*1937) composed the first version of the work between 1994 and 1996 for t谩rogat贸 and concert band. Since this traditional Hungarian instrument is rarely found in ensembles abroad, a soprano saxophone can serve as an alternative solo instrument. The composer uses melodies from the early 18th century, from the age of R谩k贸czi's war of independence. An ambitious framework is given to the work by the reminiscing, solemnly flowing brass chorus, which is built of the motives of the folk song Oh,R谩k贸czi, Bercs茅nyi (Hej, R谩k贸czi, Bercs茅nyi). As a contrast serves then Panna Czinka's ancient 鈥渧iolin lament鈥. Following this, in a pierced-work-like fashion, the folk song The dew of green forest (Z枚ld erdo harmat谩t) comes in, then, as the culmination of the work, the well-known, wild Kuruc dance of Cs铆nom Palk贸 appears. In conclusion, Kuruc Pictures is a tastefully constructed, finely harmonised and orchestrated orchestral tableau.
