Hungarian Rhapsody No. 5, S.244/5, is the fifth in a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt. It is in E Minor and is marked Lento, con duolo. The piece was given the nickname Héroïde-élégiaque by the composer himself. It is very different to his other Hungarian Rhapsodies, as it does not follow the intro - lassan - friska structure and is perhaps the darkest and most meloncholic of the set. It was later arranged for orchestra.
