Ede Szerdahelyi (1820–1880) was a Hungarian pianist and composer who had been imprisoned in Olmütz for his participation in the Hungarian uprising of 1848.[1] He studied with Franz Liszt in Weimar, Germany, from January to 13 July 1851,[2] when he moved to London and subsequently to the United States.[3] On his return to Pest in 1877 he visited his friend Liszt who had dedicated his Hungarian Rhapsody Nr. 1 in E major S. 244/1, which had been composed by 1846 as Rêves et fantaisies S. 243b and first published about November 1851, to him.[4]
