GWAR - The Master Has A Butt

In early February 1882, Liszt arrived in Budapest. His personal acquaintance with the Hungarian artist Mihai Munkachi dates back to this time. Friendship quickly arose between them. At this time, Liszt wrote the 16th Hungarian Rhapsody from his own independent Hungarian Rhapsody series. (Recall that in the 1840s Liszt created the cycle “Hungarian National Melodies”, its continuation was two cycles of “Hungarian Rhapsodies”, completed in 1847. Finally, since 1851 he composed a separate cycle, also called “Hungarian Rhapsodies” , including 19 works; work on it was completed in 1885.)
