In the nineteenth century the Rákóczi March was a strong symbol for the Hungarian struggle for independence from the Austrian monarchy, commemorating the uprising of Franz II Rákóczi against Habsburg rule. Based on a song traced back to the mid seventeenth century, it was long considered an unofficial national anthem of Hungary.
Vieuxtemps' version of the march predates that of Berlioz's (which became part of the iconic Le Damnation de Faust) from 1846. Vieuxtemps wrote his interpretation in 1843, and he immediately premiered it in Pest with great success. However, the concerts ended in a scandal, and as a result the composer avoided the city for twenty-three years and remained in the family archives unprinted.
The piano reduction, edited by Olaf Adler, incorporates the influence of Ferenc Erkel, as no piano reduction by Vieuxtemps himself exists. As the orchestra is intended to play such a strong role in the piece, the piano version should be understood as a lively work of chamber music, and not like a typical virtuoso concerto.
