Like the first concerto above, No.2 is played without a break; but whereas No.1 retains clear vestiges of the old four-movement division, No.2 is a thoroughly integrated single-movement structure, its (perhaps) six sections linked together by Liszt's own method of transformation of themes. An early version was complete in 1839 with the title 2d Concerto Symphonique, but again was revised in several stages before its first performance in 1857, this time with Liszt conducting (he never played it himself) and one of his pupils as soloist. It was revised again by 1861, and eventually published by Schott in 1863.
