Liszt was strongly influenced by the music of Roma orchestras that he heard in 1840 and 1846, when he spent several weeks in Hungary. Their music was mainly verbunkos (recruitment music) and czardas, popular Hungarian songs, and sometimes even folk songs. Liszt studied the performance style of Roma musicians with the seriousness of a folklorist, and in his sketches, he recorded the songs he heard with their specific stylistic characteristics. His concerts also included works composed from Hungarian melodies, which later served as primary ingredients for the subsequent Hungarian Rhapsodies. The first 15 rhapsodies were published between 1851 and 1853, while numbers 16-19 were written three decades later. Rhapsodies 1-15 and 19 are derived from foreign themes, whereas in 16-18, Liszt used his own thematic ideas. By the 1880s, Liszt's musical language had changed significantly: he had started using a simpler, denser sound of piano playing, but all the rhapsodies adhered to the 'lassú-friss' (slow-fast) style.
