Folio. 1 title 2-3 1 blank pp. Engraved.<br/><br/>Publisher's blindstamp to foot of title.<br/><br/>Edges worn and soiled with some fraying to corners; light offsetting. Mona 519.<br/><br/>Ferenc II. Rákóczi 1676-1735 was a Hungarian prince who led a rebellion against the Hapsburgs in the early 18th century. Although the uprising was unsuccessful Rákóczi became a national hero and a number of songs were written in his honor with this march becoming the most popular. A version of the theme was frequently performed by Romani violinist János Bihari 1764-1827 and became closely associated with Hungarian identity during the growing nationalist movement. The Austrian leaders in Vienna were anxious about a potential uprising and restricted the Rákóczy along with many other patriotic symbols. Many versions and arrangements of the march exist including those by Liszt and Berlioz. Treichlinger J. [PN J.T. 121] unknown books
