Hungarian Rhapsody No. 5 S.244/5 is the fifth in a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt. It is in E Minor and is marked Lento con duolo. The piece was given the nickname Héroïde-élégiaque by the composer himself. It is very different from his other Hungarian Rhapsodies as it does not follow the intro – lassan – friska structure and is perhaps the darkest and most melancholic of the set. It was later arranged for orchestra.
