Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1 is the first of a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt dedicated to one of his friends and former student Ede Szerdahelyi. Work on the piece began in 1846 in Klausenburg and it was published about November 1851. The piece like many in the set is composed in the csárdás style signified by two sections: the lassú (slower first section) and the friss (faster second section).
