Hi guys. I'm trying to find a certain piano piece:
The song has a fairly longish hungarian name (has 'festival' somewhere in it but I'm not too sure), and it's by a hungarian composer. Not Liszt or Bartok, rather something more obscure that I've never heard of. The song is rather long (maybe 10 pages) and is very difficult.
I know this is very limited information but if this sounds familiar to anyone it'd be awesome

Re: Need help finding a certain Hungarian piano piece
For starters: is it really a solo piano piece, or is it a vocal piece with piano accompaniment? (I'm guessing the former, but calling a solo piano piece a "song" always muddies the waters.)
How do you know it's Hungarian? (A Hungarian title with "festival" in it doesn't quite compute.) And where have you heard it: a recital, recording, etc.? Played by whom?
Every tidbit of information helps others to be helpful...

Are you absolutely sure it isn't Liszt's 9th Hungarian Rhapsody, the Carnival in Pest? It is quite difficult, but also longer than 10 pages.

Re: Need help finding a certain Hungarian piano piece
So little to go on! Could it be that the composer isn't Hungarian? If so, I'll make a tentative suggestion that it might be Smetana's "Peasant festival" (sometimes the original title is translated as something else, "Harvest Home" being another translation ) which is a fairly difficult piano piece around 5 minutes in length. (there's a recording by Gilels on You Tube of the piece. Worth listening to even if it's not the one you're after!)
