Hungarian Rhapsody No.12 Franz Liszt Joel Hastings

[gojewla]

In m.2+3, he (like most performers) plays a shorter duration than 4 beats per measure. However, this is an interesting problem. In every other iteration of the theme, it's notated differently, and it sounds more reasonable to cut these measures in half. Otherwise, the opening measure would have to be sped up a great deal and would sound not only odd, but not in character with the "mesto" marking. Anyone have a solution to this? Could it be a notational error? Very nice performance, by the way!

This is repertoire in the grand manner! Hastings certainly reveals a concise, crisp piano technique. Played with much panche, this interpretation is certainly a "crowd pleaser" of one of the more famous of the Hungarian Rhapsodies of 19th century piano virtuoso/composer, Franz Liszt.
