Csárdás Obstinée. The arranger of this work, the well-known Hungarian composer Boldizsár Csíky writes:
'This piece has always excited my imagination, from several points of view. First of all, its name. The German title, the obstinate one, may refer to its ostinato character; this is close to Liszt's programme concept, but the French word 'obstiné' is closer in meaning to stubborn. There is just a shade of difference, but to me it is important, because the latter suggests the description of a type of behaviour, the emotional state of a dancer's inner frame of mind abstracted into movements, expressed in dance movements, and this is a fascinating interpretation. The demonstration of stubborn resistance, defiance to the point of exhaustion, was not a frequently occurring phenomenon with Liszt.'
