Description
Literally meaning "Good-bye Budapest", this work is in the typical Hungarian czardas style. It opens with a soul searching melody accompanied by languid strings. This eventually erupts in a frenetic free for all where various sections of the orchestra share the main theme. A joyous D major section is quickly truncated by the return of the compelling czardas. A gloomy rendition of the opening with solo violin, tremolo upper strings and pizzicato lower strings adds a mysterious element to the work. It finally concludes with a ferocious presto.
