Vieuxtemps became acquainted with the Rákóczi March in 1843 during a concert tour to Pest and wrote his own
version of it there, which he immediately premiered with great success. The concerts in Pest ended in a scandal,
however, as a result of which Vieuxtemps avoided the city for 23 years and his Rákóczi March remained unprinted
in the family archives. The work herewith published in its first printin,g is an effective encore piece in the version with
orchestra, and a bravura chamber music work in the version with piano.
