This programme of rare works on Russian and Hungarian themes exemplifies the philanthropic Liszt: most of these pieces are based on works or themes by his contemporaries and show Liszt taking the opportunity to add his name to theirs in order to increase their sales as well as to disseminate their work. Some of his friends in Russian and Hungarian society are featured, too, and if their innate art is pitched at rather an amateur level, Liszt soon transforms the ideas into something memorable.
