| Abstract: |
In preparation for the Liszt commemorations in Sopron in October 1929, Jenô Hubay was looking for a new piece, and among his sheet music he noticed a forgotten Liszt work: Die drei Zigeuner... Paraphrase für Violine und Pianoforte. The master wrote it in 1864 for Ede Reményi for violin and piano based on his own song of the same title. It was known by Hubay and his contemporaries that Reményi himself ('gypsy among virtuosos') never played the piece. It is strange that the violin transcription remained essentially unknown even after its publication in 1896 by Kahnt in Leipzig. It was not included in the concert repertoire, nor was its score in music shops and libraries (Hubay received a publisher's complimentary copy). Hubay saw the explanation in the fact that the violin part was not instrumental enough, which is why he, who had played and improvised with Liszt several times and was well-acquainted with Reményi's playing style, created a virtuoso 'concert version' from the piece. He orchestrated the accompaniment and had it published under the title Ungarische Rhapsodie by Universal Edition, dedicating the solo part to József Szigeti. The article seeks to answer how the song became a paraphrase and the paraphrase a rhapsody, a souvenir of the collaboration and mutual inspiration of three outstanding performers, these 'drei Zigeuner'.
