Translations:Franz Liszt/28/en

He hastened at once to Pest, gave a series of concerts for the benefit of the sufferers and had the satisfaction of bringing relief and comfort to thousands of needy people. While he was in Hungary, he became entranced with the music of the gypsies, as other great composers had. The difference between Liszt and these others is that he allowed the gypsy to totally express his form, his soul. He did not intrude any of his own preconceived ideas about music or try to mingle his style with the gypsy style. So in the Rhapsody we have a very pure form of gypsy music, which is the music of the secret rays.
