Rhapsody

Japanese: ラプソディ
Rhapsody
The term originates from the rhapsoidia, a fragment of an epic poem, mainly by Homer, recited by ancient Greek bards. By extension, it is a poem of extremely passionate expression. In music, it refers to a free-form instrumental piece with improvised musical ideas that emerged after Romanticism, and is translated as rhapsody. Orchestral pieces, concerto-form works, and piano pieces by F. Liszt, Brahms, Dvorak, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Bartók, Enesco, Gershwin, and others are widely known, and Brahms also wrote a vocal piece, the Rhapsody (Alto Rhapsody), in addition to piano pieces. → Hungarian Rhapsody/Rhapsody in Blue → Related topics Gershwin | Rachmaninoff
