Liszt's second Mephisto Waltz was originally composed for piano solo sometime between 1878 and 1881. It was orchestrated shortly thereafter and performed in this setting on May 9, 1881 in Budapest, with the orchestra conducted by S. Erkel. The score reproduced here was originally issued by Breitkopf & Härtel of Leipzig in 1913 as part of the tenth volume of Liszt-Stiftung Edition, edited principally by Berthold Kellermann.
